The Minor in Physics is offered to those students who wish to expand their background and understanding of physics. A Minor in Physics will also augment any student’s specialty, and make his/her degree more attractive to potential employers.
To qualify for a Minor in Physics, a student must take 28 credits of eligible courses. This must include a minimum of 12 credits from the list of approved courses, six credits of which must be from courses not specifically required for the student’s major. At least 50 percent of all credits towards the minor must have been earned in residence at MSOE, including six credits from the list of approved courses. A minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for courses that are counted towards the minor.
Interested students should contact the coordinator for the physics minor, for clarification of the extent to which free, technical and math/science electives may be used in fulfilling the requirements for the minor.

Required courses (12 credits)
Approved courses (16 credits)
Note:
Some of the approved courses are offered as part of the regular course offerings, others are only offered if there is sufficient student interest, and many are on a two-year rotating schedule. There is no guarantee of availability of any particular course in any particular quarter. Changes in course offerings that will meet the requirements of the minor will be indicated in the Schedule of Classes and in the Undergraduate Academic Catalog. Applied Optics and Photonics Emphasis:
Note:
PH 320 , PH 322 and PH 324 constitute an application domain elective sequence for software engineering students. Applied Physics Emphasis:
Note:
In addition to scheduled electives, the physics faculty offers students with interest in particular areas an opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty member as part of an “Independent Study,” PH 499 . (Freshmen and sophomores may request a “project” course, PH 199 .) Groups of students may also petition the faculty to offer a course different than the scheduled electives. Faculty areas of expertise under which they will offer Independent Study and specialty courses include, but are not limited to, the areas of:
Renewable Energy
Unification Theories
Quantum Computing
Interested students may contact any department faculty member. |
