BSc or BA (120 credit hour) Major in Physics
The 120 credit hour Major is suited to students who want to focus on Physics, but wish to have a program that is somewhat less constrained than the Honours program. Physics Majors complete a minimum of 42 credit hours in Physics courses past the 1000 level as listed below. Research and other experiential learning opportunities are available through laboratories, special topics and experiential classes.
A Co-op option is available for students enrolled in a 120 credit hour BSc Major program in Physics.
