Typical ScheduleApplied 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: The required Physics elective* is not shown explicitly. It should be taken during the 4th year.

Plus 3 units of Physical Education activity.
*** 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.
