Typical Schedule Applied Physics Major (SAP)
Note: Applied Physics majors are expected to be calculus
ready upon entering this program. Students with low math ACT or SAT
scores should complete a summer course equivalent to MA1032 (possibly
by participating in the MaCH-1 program at MTU).
Note: The following is intended to serve as a guide.
Also note: No Math beyond Diff Eq is shown even
though additional Math is required (included in "electives").

*** 13 credits in an appropriate APPLICATION AREA or UNIVERSITY MINOR
* Only one (1) of Theoretical Mechanics II, Quantum Physics II, or
E & M II is required.
** IF a similar Electronics or Thermo/Stat Mech course is offered
in the department of the application area or minor, the student may
take it and replace the equivalent Physics requirement with Physics
Electives.
