EARN A MINOR IN PHYSICS

The University requires 15 hours for a minor. Assuming that the student has taken PHYS1607 and 1617 or PHYS1600 and 1610, the following courses are required for a minor in physics:

Course	Hrs	Title
PHYS2100	3	Intermediate Mechanics
PHYS2200	3	Introductory Quantum Physics and Relativity
PHYS3100	3	Intermediate Electricity and Magnetism
PHYS3200	3	Statistical Thermodynamics
PHYS4100	3	Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics

Often students minoring in physics may have taken a course in their major that overlaps strongly with one of the required courses listed above. In that case, the student may substitute a physics course at the 5000 level.
