and College requirements.
Note: MATH 241 Analytical Geometry and
Calculus A satisfies the Mathematics Skills College requirement and is strongly
recommended as the first math course for physics majors, unless the placement
exam suggests differently.

Ordinarily,
no more than four credits from among PHYS 201 and PHYS 207 may be counted toward
graduation requirements; similarly no more than four from among PHYS 202, PHYS 208. Students interested in
majoring in Physics who have taken an introductory sequence other than PHYS 207/PHYS 208 should consult with a
member of the Physics faculty to consider the need for additional introductory
courses, for which some additional credit toward graduation may be given with
permission of the Physics chair.
