Schedule reflects courses based on having taken high school chemistry and having tested out of CHEM 1103/1101L.
* These are some examples of elective courses taken in physics. Electronics I & II are unusual in that they can be taken for variable amounts of credit.
# If you have taken high school foreign language, 1003 is not necessary. If it must be taken, it does not count towards the required 124 hours.
+ courses are physics class requirements for this track.
