Minor in Astronomy
This program provides the student with a broad overview of our Universe, from planets around other stars to the earliest galaxies. This minor is targeted at students in the Natural Sciences who are interested in learning more about astronomy after completing their introductory physics courses. Students taking the minors sequence will have to satisfy the course prerequisites as specified in the course descriptions below.
Graduation Requirements (17 credits)
- Introductory Physics: 0174 and 0175 or the corresponding honors courses
- Astronomy: 0113 or 0413 and two of the following – 1120, 1121, 1122, 1123
Minor in Physics
This program provides the student with a broad overview of both classical and modern physics, and is an excellent complement to many major fields, even outside of the natural sciences. Beginning science and engineering majors who switch their majors after their 1st or 2nd years will find it particularly simple to earn a minor in physics by simply adding the modern physics sequence, physics 0477 and 0481, to the courses that they have already taken. Students taking the minors sequence will have to satisfy the course prerequisites as specified in the course descriptions below.
Graduation Requirements (16 credits)
- Introductory Physics: 0174, 0175, and 0219 or the corresponding honors courses
- Additional Physics: 0477 and one of the following – 0481, 1374, 1375, 1376 or 1378
Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Certificate
