  • Computer Programming I (CSCI 220  and CSCI 220L ) is strongly recommended.
  • With department approval, completion with grades of at least “B” in PHYS 101 /PHYS 101L  and PHYS 102 /PHYS 102L , together with MATH 120  and MATH 220  may be substituted for PHYS 111 /PHYS 111L  and PHYS 112 /PHYS 112L .
  • Except for the substitution of ASTR 377  for PHYS 370 , this program comes within 3 credit hours of fulfilling the requirements for the B.S. in Physics. If the student takes ASTR 377  and PHYS 370  plus 3 additional credit hours of 300- or 400- level PHYS or ASTR then they have a double major in Physics and Astronomy.
  • Suggested programs of study leading to graduate school in physics, astronomy, astrophysics, meteorology and engineering are available from the department.
