The University requires 15 hours for a minor. Assuming that the student has taken PHYS1607 & 1617 or PHYS1600 & 1610, the following courses are required for a minor in physics:
| Course |
Hrs |
Title |
| PHYS2100 |
3
|
Intermediate Mechanics |
| PHYS2200 |
3
|
Introductory Quantum Physics and Relativity |
| PHYS3100 |
3
|
Intermediate Electricity and Magnetism |
| PHYS3200 |
3
|
Statistical Thermodynamics |
| PHYS4100 |
3
|
Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics |
Often students minoring in physics may have taken a course in their major that overlaps strongly with one of the required courses listed above. In that case, the student may substitute a physics course at the 5000 level. |
