Requirements

• A minimum of 55 credits of physics (3 of which are elective; 56 credits if PHY 100 , our first-year success course, is taken). The physics electives must be chosen from AST 451, PHY 447, PHY 470, PHY 471, PHY 482, PHY 496, PHY 501, or PHY 574.
• 18 credits of mathematics (3 of which are elective; the mathematics elective is usually chosen from MAT 262 , STS 332, STS 434, MAT 452, MAT 453, MAT 454 or MAT 471 . PHY 574 may be used here as the mathematics elective, provided it is not also used as a physics elective.)
• 7 credits of approved science and computer science courses.
• ENG 101 
• 36 credits of additional electives (18 of which satisfy the University’s General Education Human Values/Social Context and Ethics requirements), for an overall total of 120 credits.
• First-year students must take PHY 100 . 
• Note: Five courses in mathematics (in addition to a computer programming course) are required for the BS degree. A minor in mathematics can be earned with one additional mathematics course beyond these five (as long as one is at the 400 level) and our PHY 472.
