Notes
- This is only a general guideline, but does take full account of all
discipline requirements and prerequisites.
- Not all of the physics electives will be offered every year.
In general, Optics (Physics 3301) will alternate with Statistical
Physics (Physics 3501), with one additional elective (Physics 3000,
Physics 3001, or Physics 3201) offered every Spring.
- Full-time students take 12-16 credits per semester; an average load
is 16 credits, while the minimum required for full-time status is 12.
- 120 credits are required for graduation.
- Students must take at least 60 credits of non-physics general education
courses.
- No more than 48 credits in any one discipline will count toward the
120 credits required for graduation.
- See the
UMM Catalog
for further requirements and restrictions.
