PHYS 151*x Introduction to Mechanics 4
PHYS 152*x Introduction to Thermodynamics
and Relativity
4
PHYS 241*x Introductory Electricity
and Magnetism
4

* = Lab / field experience included in the course

x = Physics courses must be taken within a single strand. Physics courses taken from multiple strands are considered duplicate credit and cannot be used to fulfill the science requirement. See the physics course descriptions for additional information.

Please check http://catalog.arizona.edu/allcats.html for course prerequisites and other requirements.

This science requirement fulfills the student's General Education requirement for Tier One, NATS (Natural Science). Students under catalogs prior to 1998-99 should check with the department undergraduate advisor.
