* The 6 credits of mathematics electives are to be selected from M 221 and MATH and STAT courses numbered 300 and above. The 6 credits of physics electives are to be selected from PHSX courses numbered 300 and above and ASTR courses number 372 and above. The physics elective can include no more than 1 credit of PHSX 494, 3 credits of PHSX 492, 3 credits of PHSX 490R, or 4 credits of the combination of PHSX 494, PHSX 492, and PHSX 490R. PHSX 401, PHSX 402, PHSX 403, and PHSX 405 can not be counted towards physics electives. At least 13 credits of coursework in the declared area must be 300 level or higher. Courses in declared area must form a coordinated program of study that is approved by the physics advisor. A minimum of 120 credits is required for graduation; 42 of these credits must be in courses numbered 300 and above. A student changing majors or with unusual circumstances can substitute PHSX 220 for PHSX 240, or PHSX 222 for PHSX 242 with the academic advisor's approval.
