The department offers two minors--one in physics and one in
astronomy. The following courses are required for the physics minor:
01:750:203-204
(or equivalent)
01:750:205-206
(or 229-230 or 275,276)
Twelve credits of 300- or 400-level physics courses.
Recommended courses include 01:750:301, 305, 313, 323-324, 341,342, 397.
The grade-point average for all courses applied toward the
minor must be at least 2.0. No more than one D grade may be applied toward the minor.
Three of the four advanced physics elective courses must be taken at
Rutgers-New Brunswick.
The following courses are required for the astronomy minor:
01:750:203-204
(or equivalent)
01:750:205-206
(or 229-230 or 275,276)
01:750:341,342, 343, 344
The grade-point average for all courses applied toward the
minor must be at least 2.0. No more than one D grade may be applied toward the minor.
Three of the four 300-level courses must be taken at Rutgers-New Brunswick.
Physics majors or minors who also wish to minor in astronomy must complete
01:750:341,342, 343, and 344. These courses may not also be used to satisfy
requirements for the major or minor in physics.
