The double major program offered through the College of Arts and Sciences requires that each major must contain 30 hours not contained in the other (i.e. exclusive of that other major) AND the second major must meet all requirements set by the second major department. A sample 4-year academic schedule for double major in Physics and Astronomy is provided below. Other double major combinations are possible. See a college academic counselor for more details.

* Math 151 is a pre-req for Physics 131. This pre-req is waived for Physics and Engineering Physics majors ONLY if Math 151 is taken concurrently with Physics 131. The same is true for Physics 132 (with Math 152) and Physics 133 (with Math 153).
