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 and consult with their academic advisor to plan accordingly.
A major requires 42 hours of upper division ( 3000 level or above) coursework, 30 of which must be from the University of Wyoming.
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.
For declared physics majors, the prerequisite of MATH 2200 for PHYS1210 -is waived and concurrent enrollment is approved.
For declared physics majors, the prerequisite of MATH 2205 for PHYS 1220- is waived and concurrent enrollment is approved.
If intending to apply to graduate school, students should take the physics GRE by fall semester of the senior year.
Students with specific additional interests (e.g. pre-med or another pre-professional program) may wish to move their V/H/C2 courses to alternate semesters so as to take the necessary required courses ( e.g. LIFE 1010, MOLB 3000 etc.)
