UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

Typical Schedule Secondary Education (SPH1)

Note: 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 enrolling in the MaCH-1 program at MTU).

Note: The following is intended to serve as a guide.
