* The 3 credits of mathematics electives are to be selected from M 221 and MATH and STAT courses numbered 300 and above. The 5 credits of physics electives are to be selected from PHSX courses numbered 300 and above and ASTR courses number 372 and above. The physics electives can include no more than 1 credit of PHSX 494 or 3 credits of PHSX 492. PHSX 401, PHSX 402, PHSX 403, and PHSX 490R can not be counted towards physics electives. 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.
