Additional Description
See the “Prerequisite and MPE Cut Score Reference Chart” on the Math Placement website for the most up-to-date math placement equivalencies: http://www.uwyo.edu/mathstats/math-placement/.
For declared physics/astronomy majors, the prerequisite of Math 2200 for PHYS 1210 is waived and concurrent enrollment is approved.
For declared physics/astronomy majors, the prerequisite of Math 2205 for PHYS 1220 is waived and concurrent enrollment is approved.
If intending to apply to graduate school, plan to take the physics GRE by fall semester of the senior year
Additional Requirements
Course sequencing may need to be altered if ACT, SAT or Math Placement scores require a student to take pre-college courses before taking required math or English courses. • Not all courses are offered every semester and some electives may have prerequisites. Students should review course descriptions in the University Catalog and consult with their academic advisor to plan accordingly.
Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to graduate. At least 30 hours in the major subject must be completed with a grade of C or better.
Courses must be taken for a letter grade unless offered only for S/U.
University Studies Program (USP) Human Culture (H) and Physical & Natural World (PN) courses must be taken outside of the major subject, but can be cross-listed with the major
The Bachelor of Science degree in astronomy and astrophysics is administered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy faculty. Please see the Physics and Astronomy listing in this Catalog for more information.
