Physics minor
This section specifies the physics minor requirements only. Please refer to the Bachelor of Science section for information on additional requirements. In addition to the general BSc requirements, students must complete a minimum of 14 credits from physics courses numbered 300 and above. Students need to combine these physics minor requirements with the credits from another science minor or major.
Note: Students must be aware that upper-level physics courses require lower-level physics and math prerequisites. Students are advised to take these lower-level prerequisites in their first two years of full-time study.
