Typical Course of Study
For physics majors who start in the sophomore year
Sometimes, a passion for physics catches a student by surprise, and they don’t start fulfilling the major requirements until their second year. In this case, the following plan will fulfill all requirements for the Standard Physics concentration:
Fall |
Spring |
|
YEAR 2 - General Physics MATH 111 - Calculus I |
YEAR 2 / - General Physics MATH 112 - Calculus II |
|
YEAR 3 - Modern Physics - Experimental Atomic Physics - Practical Computing MATH 213 - Multivariable Calculus |
YEAR 3 - Classical Mechanics I - Electronics I MATH 211 - Linear Algebra - Introduction to Mathematical Physics |
|
YEAR 4 - Quantum Physics I - Classical Mechanics II / - Physics/Honors Research MATH 302 - Ordinary Differential Equations |
YEAR 4 - Electricity and Magnetism I - Quantum Physics II / - Physics/Honors Research |
Degree requirements include all courses in bold, except that may replace .
Math courses listed in regular font are math courses strongly recommended for all physics majors.
