The undergraduate minor in physics requires a minimum of 15 semester hours in physics courses, including at least 12 semester hours taken at the University of Iowa. Students must maintain a grade-point average of at least 2.00 in all courses for the minor and in all UI courses for the minor. 

Coursework in the minor may not be taken pass/nonpass.

Requirements and program planning

The plan of study below lists only the core courses required for a BA in Physics.  This does not include required GE CLAS Core courses, which may be found here, and electives.  Undergraduates are also strongly encouraged to be active participants in research within the department.

^GE  _{This course satisfies a General Education requirement.}
^a  _{Enrollment in math courses requires completion of a placement exam.}
^b  _{This math course is either a prerequisite or corequisite for the required physics minor courses.}
^c  _{This physics course is a prerequisite for the required physics minor courses.}
