A major in physics leading to a Bachelor of Science degree requires completion of at least 50 credits including the following.

1. PHYS 111, 112, 207 (ENGN 207), 210, 225 (ENGN 225), 230, 265, 275, 285, 340, 345; and MATH 332
2. One additional PHYS course at the 200- or 300-level
3. One course chosen from PHYS 399, 473, 493 or three credits of research from PHYS 421, PHYS 422 or PHYS 423 followed by a 15-page research paper to be completed before graduation or from PHYS 451, PHYS 452 or PHYS 453 followed by a 15-page research paper to be completed before graduation.” **
4. Three additional credits chosen from the following:
   BIOL 280, 282, 283, 385
   CHEM 110, CHEM numbered 200 and above;
   CSCI 121, 211, 250;
   ENGN numbered 200 and above
