NOTES and COMMENTS:
( a ) PHY 191 and 192 are introductory laboratory courses for students majoring in physics or astronomy. They are required for the bachelor's degree, and should be completed in the sophomore year.
( b ) PHY 215 (Thermodynamics and Modern Physics) may be taken either in the Fall or Spring Semester, whichever will fit better the student's overall schedule.
( c ) The Sophomore Year is a convenient time to complete the University's eight-credit Integrative Studies in Social Sciences requirement. For a listing of the courses which satisfy this requirement - one at the 200-level and one at the 300-level - consult the University's catalog of courses.
( d ) PHY 321 (Classical Mechanics) is required and a prerequisite for higher-level courses. It is offered as a lecture course only in the spring semester. (A CBI version is offered in summer school.) It is very important for students majoring in physics or astrophysics to complete PHY 321 in the sophomore year as preparation for higher-level courses.
( e ) This is a spot in the schedule where an elective course may be inserted. Alternatively, a required course such as IAH 201 may be taken here.
( f ) In PHY 201 (Physics Computations II), a continuation of PHY 102, students develop computer skills for physics calculations.
