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 University–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.
