What will I learn?

The Bachelor of Science in Physics program is intended for students who will pursue a career or a graduate degree in physics or related fields.

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. Courses must be taken for a letter grade unless offered only for S/U.

University Studies Program (USP) Human Culture (H) and Physical & Natutural World (PN) courses must be taken outside of the major subject, but can be cross-listed with the major.
