Note:
Physics and mathematics courses that serve as prerequisites to other required courses must be satisfied with a grade of no less than “C.”
The cumulative GPA of physics courses at the 300 and 400 level required for the physics major must be at least 2.0
For physics majors, the suggested sequence of courses starts with the basic core, which is usually completed by the end of the first three semesters at UMBC. The basic core consists of PHYS 121 , PHYS 122 , PHYS 122L , CMSC 104 or CMSC 201 , CHEM 101 , MATH 251 and all of its prerequisites.
