A minor in Physics consists of 18 hours of designated physics courses. There are two possibilities:

1. Students can complete the introductory calculus-based physics sequence (PHYS 1121 , PHYS 2111 , and PHYS 2121 ) and six hours of any combination of upper-level physics courses (upper level courses include PHYS 2630  as well as any 3000 and above courses); or
2. Students can complete the introductory non-calculus based sequence (PHYS 2010 /PHYS 2010L  and PHYS 2020  PHYS 2020L ) and 10 hours of upper-level courses from the following: PHYS 3030 - Optics , PHYS 3040 - Thermodynamics ), PHYS 3050 - Modern Physics , PHYS 3310L , PHYS 3320L , 3310 3510 or 3520 (Seminar), and PHYS 3060 - Medical Physics  and PHYS 4530 /PHYS 4540  (please note that PHYS 4530  requires the permission of the instructor). Other upper-level courses may be possible with permission of the department head and the instructor and the proper prerequisites.
