Physics / Minor

Minor Credit Hours: 26

Degree Requirements

A grade of "C-" or better must be earned in a prerequisite course in order to advance to the next course in the sequence. An overall GPA of 2.0 must be earned in the minor courses in order for a student to graduate with a minor in Physics.

Physics majors and minors may take a Physics class only two times. If a student has not achieved a minimum of a "C-" after the second attempt, the student may not repeat the class.

Chemical Physics majors may not minor in Physics.
