What you see below represents a typical schedule of physics and mathematics courses that one would take in pursuit of the physics major. The physics courses listed for the Junior and Senior years are offered perennially, meaning the last two years of physics courses could be interchanged. The introductory chemistry course (CHEM 103-104, CHEM 105L-106L) could be taken at any time that is most convenient.
For those of you interested in the Dual-Degree Engineering option, your first two years would look like what you see below and you would take some of the courses you see listed below for the last two years in your Junior year. Chat with your advisor about what to take!
