NOTES:
1 MATH 1310 may be taken in place of MATH 1300 ; MATH 1500 or MATH 1520may be taken in place of MATH 1510; MATH 1700 may be taken in place of MATH 1710.
2 PHYS 1030 is not suitable for entry to the program. Students must also take PHYS 1070 if they have already taken PHYS 1030 . Students can hold credit for both PHYS 1030 and PHYS 1070 .
3 The corequisite of PHYS 2490 is waived. It is recommended that students audit PHYS 2390 and PHYS 2490 in second year.
4 The courses required in this program will satisfy the University mathematics requirement.
5 As there are no electives in Year 2 of the program, students should complete the university written English requirement in University I. If not completed in University I, a "W" course must be completed prior to Year 3 in addition to the required Year 2 courses.
6 The prerequisite of PHYS 2490 is waived.
7 The prerequisite of MATH 3810 has been waived for students who have completed PHYS 3630 , PHYS 3640 and PHYS 3380 .
