Sample Course Sequence |
Provided here are a few sample course sequences to guide students in selecting courses towards programs in physics. Please consult your adviser when selecting courses, and be advised these are sample course sequences; your actual course sequence will likely vary from these examples. Also, students participating in one of the Physics Department's Concentrations Programs may also expect additional variations in their actual course sequences.
