Physics major leading to BS degree

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, 275,340, 345; and MATH 101, 102 and 221
2. One course in advanced physics PHYS 285 or 289
3. Two additional PHYS courses at the 200- or 300-level
4. One course chosen from PHYS 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. **
5. Three additional credits chosen from the following:
   BIOL 185, 187, 280, 282, 283, 385;
   CHEM 110, CHEM numbered 200 and above;
   CSCI 121, 211, 250;
   ENGN numbered 200 and above;
   EEG 211, 275, 311;
   MATH 222, MATH numbered 300 and above;
   PHYS 151, 190, PHYS numbered 200 and above

Additional courses possibly required as prerequisites for completion of the above include MATH 101, 102, and 221.

**The 15-page research paper requirement associated with PHYS 42x and 45x courses will be programmed as a non-course requirement referred to as the “Physics Research Paper”.
