UW-Whitewater Major/Minor Courses in Physics
The following table lists all the courses available from the UWW Physics Department. An "R" beside a course indicates that it is a required course for the above major. Courses denoted by "C1" or "C2" indicate groups of courses that can be chosen by the student to fulfill the major. For a graduate school emphasis major, 2 credits must also be chosen from the group of courses denoted "Ca". Courses denoted "E" indicate elective courses eligible to be chosen to attain the minimum number of physics course credits for the corresponding major in addition to the set required courses. For all of these additional courses, no more than 3 credits can come from courses 490-499, denoted by "E".
