Program Description

High school preparation for undergraduate programs in physics and astronomy should include four years of math at least through pre-calculus and one year each of chemistry, physics, and computer programming.  Students are strongly encouraged to periodically meet with a major advisor to review course selection and degree progress.

• While required major core courses should be taken for letter grades, a maximum of 6 units of upper-division courses taken CR/NC may be counted toward physics and astronomy degrees.
• All prerequisites for upper-division courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better. See course descriptions for prerequisite requirements.
