Requires a total of at least 17 hours, which must include:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| PHY 111 | Mechanics Waves and Heat | 4 |
| or PHY 113 | General Physics I | |
| or PHY 123 | General Physics I - Studio Format | |
| PHY 114 | General Physics II | 4 |
| or PHY 124 | General Physics II - Studio Format | |
| PHY 215 | Elementary Modern Physics | 3 |
| PHY 262 | Mechanics | 3 |
| One additional 3+ hours Physics course or one of the following: | 3-4 | |
| Physical Chemistry I | ||
| Materials and Mechanics | ||
| Control Systems and Instrumentation | ||
| Pre- or Co-requisite Courses: | ||
| MTH 113 | Multivariable Calculus | 4 |
| MTH 205 | Introduction to Linear Algebra and Differential Equations | 4 |
| or MTH 251 | Ordinary Differential Equations | |
MTH 251 can substitute for MTH 205 for the MTH requirement for the minor, but not for specific course pre- or co-requirements, unless already specified in the course description.
Students interested in the minor should contact the faculty member responsible for advising physics majors. (Inquire in Olin Physical Laboratory, Room 100.)
