Notes:

  1. Students who are unable to start physics in their first quarter may choose to enroll in a regular section of Physics 131 in the winter quarter, completing the sequence with Physics 133 in the autumn of their second year, concurrently with Physics 261 or 295.
  2. Or CSE 202
  3. Or Bio 113 or Chem 122 or Chem 125
  4. Either 664, 622 or 657. The course selected may be given in WI or SP. Additional physics courses may be taken as free electives.

This schedule is meant to be illustrative and you shouldn't follow it blindly. Students beginning with Math 150 will have to delay Math 151 until winter quarter of year 1 and start with Physics 131 in the spring quarter or Physics 131 the following autumn.

Courses in RED are controlled access courses. These courses *CANNOT* be scheduled by the student. The Undergraduate Program Coordinator, Robin Wyatt (wyattr@mps.ohio-state.edu, 292-8523) schedules students for this course based on a scheduling list maintained in the Undergraduate Studies Office. Contact Robin AT LEAST 3 quarters in advance of when you would like to take a controlled access course to be placed on the scheduling list. Students are scheduled according to graduation priority AND date that they were placed on the list.

The total hours requested for graduation in the Engineering Physics program is 193. If the physics and math core plus technical electives, plus GEC courses do not add up to 193 hours, the difference should be made up with free electives.
