Students may elect a minor program in physics by completing a total of 20 credits in the department. The suggested course sequence is as follows:

University Physics I, II, and Labs 
University Physics III
Classical Mechanics I
Quantum Mechanics I or Electricity and Magnetism

Most of these courses have substantial mathematics prerequisites (Calculus I, II, Multivariable Calculus), so that it would not be possible for a non-science major to minor in physics.
