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 take three 400-level PHYS courses for a total of 9-12 credits.The Physics minor is useful for students in many science 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.
