Program Requirements
This Minor program is currently under review. Students are encouraged to contact Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering for detailed information.
[Program registration done by Student Affairs Office]
The Minor program does not carry professional recognition. Only students who satisfy the requirements of the Major Physics are eligible for this Minor. Students registered for this option cannot count PHYS 241 toward the requirements of the Major in Physics, and should replace this course by another Physics or Mathematics course. Students who select ECSE 334 in the Minor cannot count PHYS 328 toward the requirements of the Major in Physics, and should replace this course by another Physics or Mathematics course.
