University Park, Eberly College of Science (PHYS)
The Department of Physics offers a minor for students who wish to expand upon their study in this fundamental discipline, beyond the introductory courses (PHYS 211, PHYS 212, PHYS 213, PHYS 214). In addition to an additional course in modern physics (which includes introductions to relativity and quantum theory, as well as applications), students are required to take the 'core' of the junior-senior level Physics curriculum, with classes in advanced classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and quantum mechanics. The Physics minor is useful for students in many science (especially astronomy/astrophysics and chemistry) and engineering disciplines who wish to extend their studies in this fundamental field, as a background for graduate study or work in a variety of technical fields.
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the minor.
