Major/Program Footnotes:
1) It is assumed that the student enters with AP Credit for MA 141 and 241
2) ST 371 and 372 combine to satisfy the Physics requirement of ST 380
3) MA 427 satisfies numerical methods requirement in Physics and the major paper co-requirements in Mathematics
4) MA 402 satisfies the math modeling co-requirement and (with 401) the in-depth co-requirement in Mathematics
5) Mathematical Electives also satisfy the remaining technical electives for the physics degree. Suggested possibilities include 428, 513, and 335
* General Education Program (GEP) requirements and GEP Footnotes:
To complete the requirements for graduation and the General Education
Program, the following category credit hours and co-requisites must be satisfied. University approved GEP course lists for each
of the following categories can be found at
