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.
