* Note:

PHYS 2050/2060 may be applied toward the Astronomy minor as long as they are not specifically required by the student’s major or other programs. If such a conflict exists, then PHYS 3520 must be taken.

For students majoring in physics, PHYS 3520 will be waived from the physics major and applied towards the astronomy minor.
