Recommended Coursework Outside the Major

In developing one’s own personal interests and professional opportunities, students majoring in physics may consider augmenting their major coursework with selections from the following areas: mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, geology, computer science and economics. Physics majors who are interested in teaching profession should consult the School of Education and Professional Studies in order to lay the proper groundwork for the requisite graduate degree and certification. Consult with your adviser for more information.

Note(s)

Students must earn a minimum grade of 2.0 in all physics and congnate courses used to satisfy physics major requirements.
