Physics minor

General requirements

A student must take a minimum of 18 credit hours in courses with the designation PHY, including at least six credit hours at the 3000- or 4000-level. No more than six credit hours can be double-counted towards both major and minor program requirements. A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor subject courses is required to successfully complete a minor program.

Specific courses are required for the minor in Physics. A list of courses follows.

Four mandatory courses:

• PHY 2010U – Electricity and Magnetism I
• PHY 2030U – Mechanics I

• One of:

• PHY 1010U – Physics I or
• PHY 1030U – Introductory Physics

• One of:

• PHY 1020U – Physics II or
• PHY 1040U – Physics for Biosciences

Two additional courses:

Students must take two additional courses selected from any 3000- or 4000-level PHY course.

Note:

Some of the selected courses will require an additional PHY or MATH 2000-series course to be taken as a prerequisite.
