Minor in Physics (SPSR)
Rationale
Students will have the opportunity for additional study in physics in
order to build a secondary area of expertise in support of their program
or other areas of interest.
Prerequisites
A student must be matriculated in a baccalaureate program and must have
successfully completed the following courses:
- 1017-311 University Physics I
- 1017-312 University Physics II
- 1017-313 University Physics III
Requirements
A student must
successfully complete a minimum of 20 quarter credit hours
from the listing below with a 2.0 minimum GPA.
At least 12 quarter credit hours must be in courses
not required by the student's home program and must be completed in
