The physics program provides the necessary co-requisites for chemistry and biology majors, as well as for students who desire to enrich their programs with study in one of these courses. The physics program also provides the physical science general education requirement for non-science majors.
Note: Semesters listed are when courses are normally offered. However, course offerings may change due to low course enrollment or unexpected staffing changes.
