Please note that this schedule is only an example. Students should attempt to take the major requirements in the order shown. The general education requirements do not have to follow the order shown, but students must be sure to complete each requirement. Electives are optional.
Typical Schedule – Physics – General Physics Concentration (pdf)
Physics majors with the Dual-Degree Concentration have a less flexible schedule with fewer general electives. Dual-Degree students should take MATH 280- Linear Algebra, PHYS 252 - Statics, and CMSC 160 & 162 - Introduction to Algorithmic Design. The general education requirements do not have to follow the order shown, but students must be sure to complete each requirement. The number of credits taken during the regular semester can be reduced by electing to take summer school courses.
