Degrees in Physics at the Ohio State University

Physics curriculae are highly dependent on the order in which courses are taken. To help you plan, below is an example of a 4-year class schedule for Option D. Note: A minimum of 181 total hours is required for graduation in the College of Arts and Sciences for students entering after AU07. The total required hours are 191 for students entering before AU07. If the physics and math plus electives plus GEC do not add up to 181 (191 for prior to AU07) hours, the difference should be made up with additional free electives.

* Math 151 is a pre-req for Physics 131. This pre-req is waived for Physics and Engineering Physics majors ONLY if Math 151 is taken concurrently with Physics 131. The same is true for Physics 132 (with Math 152) and Physics 133 (with Math 153).
