This program helps you prepare for graduate study in physics or for careers in industry. You may also be interested in physical science teaching certification (listed separately in this Bulletin).
If you wish to transfer to physics from another degree program, you must have an average of C or better in all physics and mathematics courses you have completed and not more than one grade below C in those courses.
To remain in the degree program, you must maintain a GPA of 2.00 or higher in physics courses. You may take a minor of 24–30 credits in a second science or in engineering. For this minor, a plan of study is developed with your advisor. You may substitute courses in the minor for PHYS 361. Typical minor programs chosen by physics majors are mathematics and electrical engineering.
To earn the B.S. with a major in physics, you must fulfill the requirements of IPFW (see Part 7) and the School of Arts and Sciences (see Part 3), in addition to the following requirements:
