## Program Description

The Applied Physics Department offers a Minor in Applied Physics which consists of a set of four or more physics courses totaling at least 15 credits. This includes the entire introductory physics sequence, followed by additional upper-level courses that require one or more introductory physics courses as prerequisites.

## Applying for the Minor

Apply for a minor in Albert using the link in the My Academics section of the Student Center.

Students should apply for the minor before applying for graduation. After applying for the minor, the application is then forwarded to the Home School Advising Office, Host School Advising Office, Host School Department/Program, and the Academic Dean’s office.

The departmental advisers governing the minor will have access to approve or disapprove the minor online using the Graduation Tracking Search page. If a student is registered for a course for the minor during their last semester, the adviser can still set the status to departmental approved pending current courses.

## Program Requirements

The minor requires the completion of the following:
