Note: All physics minors must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or higher in all required courses (Sections I–II above), and must pass each individual course with a grade of at least “C-”. Students may not enroll in a required course without having first passed its prerequisites with a grade of “C-” or better.
