Honors in Physics [Science]


The Honors Programs offered by the Department of Physics provide a comprehensive education for students planning advanced degrees and a research or academic career.

Students interested in the Engineering-Physics program should consult Engineering Physics  of the Faculty of Engineering section.

Honors Physics students must consult an advisor in the Department of Physics regarding their programs. Not all 200-, 300- and 400-level Physics and Geophysics courses are offered every year so students should plan accordingly.

Continuation in the Honors in Physics program requires successful completion of at least ★24 with a minimum 3.0 GPA in the previous Fall/Winter. In addition, graduation requires a minimum 3.0 GPA on the last ★90 credited to the degree.
