To earn a minor in physics a student must complete 27 credits (9 credits of which must be taken in residence at PSU, and 12 to 15 credits of which must be upper-division), to include the following:
| Course Number and Title | Credits |
|---|
General Physics (PH 201, 202, 203 or PH 231, 232, 233)
or General Physics with Calculus (PH 211, 212, 213) | 12 |
| Labs for General Physics (PH 214, 215, 216) | 3 |
| Upper-division Physics Electives | 12 |
| Total credits: | 27 |
A maximum of one-third of the courses taken under the undifferentiated grading option (pass/no pass) is acceptable toward fulfilling department minor requirements. Additional courses may be required as prerequisites.
