Physics Minor Programs
The Minor Program in Physics provides a solid foundation for
the pursuit of a broad range of professional activities in science
and engineering. The requirements for a Minor in Physics are 18.03
or 18.034, plus any five Course VIII subjects beyond the General Institute
Requirements.
Students thinking about earning a minor in Physics might also explore
the alternative of obtaining a second major through the VIII-Flexible option .
Students should submit a completed Minor Application Form to Academic Programs, Room 4-315. The Physics Minor Coordinator
is Sean Robinson.
The Minor Program in Astronomy, offered jointly with the
Department of Earth, Atmosphere, and Planetary Sciences, covers
the observational and theoretical foundations of astronomy. The
minor requires seven subjects as follows:
Astronomy, Mathematics, and Physics
Required Subjects:
8.03; 8.282J/12.402J; 18.03 or 18.034
Astrophysics
