Required courses
Minimum of 49 hours in physics, including:
Course that may not count towards the degree
Computational physics concentration
To earn a concentration in computational physics, students must complete 3 courses of the following 4 courses. Physics courses chosen will count as upper level physics electives in the degree requirements. In addition, the topic of senior thesis and senior thesis capstone must be on computational physics.
Other course requirements
Electives
Hours required for electives may vary based on course selection and the University Core Curriculum requirements . Electives may be required to satisfy the advanced hour requirement (42) and/or the minimum total hours required for the degree. For specific information, see an academic advisor in the College of Science.
