- A11 300-level courses in Physics are offered in the
evening. Go to the Physics Future Course offerings
to find out what courses will be offered in future years.
- We strongly encourage you to take the required 200-level
physics courses, as well as MATH 107 (Calculus I) and MATH 202 (Calculus
II) as early as possible, since these are prerequisites for almost all
of the 300-level physics courses.
Other University Requirements:
Every Schedule of Classes lists the University requirements for graduation.
Please contact the program advisor if you have any questions on these requirements.
Transfer credit information:
Physics courses taken from other institutions inside the
U.S. usually transfer with no problem. We will need to see a catalog description,
syllabus and the name of the textbook used for any course taken at another institution
and any Physics courses taken at institutions outside the U.S.
The College of Arts and Sciences has a rule that states
only 9 hours of Physics transfer credits can be applied towards an Physics
minor. Remember that the University requires a grade of C or better in
any course applied toward the major or minor.
