Minor is required for B.A. or B.S. degree. Physics minor is strongly suggested.

Electives should be chosen to complete the requirement for a minor in another discipline. Students are encouraged to begin work on a minor by at least the start of the sophomore year. Schedule electives to complete the university studies requirements and provide 120 semester hours for the baccalaureate degree.
