Additional requirements: |
|
Students must take at least two courses from any of the following:
• ASTR 103 ASTR 104, CHEM 113, CHEM 114, MATH 125, MATH 270, BIO 111, BIO 112, any two Business courses, any two Economics courses, any two Arts courses.
|
Note: More courses may be added as new courses are added to the calendar, but may not yet be included on this list. Check with the Physics department if there have been any additions.
• Students should note the pre-requisite requirements for these courses.
• Students should note that by choosing the appropriate options within the
Physics honours option, they will also meet all the requirements for a Math minor.
Graduation requirements
• At least 132 credits total
• At least 54 upper-level credits
• At least 45 of the upper-level credits must be from physics or math
• At least 39 of the upper-level credits must be from physics
Academic performance
• The GPA in all courses that the student uses towards the degree must be at least 3.33.
• In addition, the GPA in all Physics courses used towards the degree must be at least 3.33.
Students in the Physics major do not need to apply to the honours option, but they may graduate from the honours program, once all requirements have been met.
