Option B: The Physical, Mathematical, and Engineering Sciences Option, is designed for physics majors who have a strong interest in some other area of the physical sciences, engineering, or mathematics. Students completing this option are prepared to pursue physics related areas or to enter the job market with skills in engineering or other sciences.

* 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).
**Technical Electives: Option B requires 16 credit hours of courses in science, math, or engineering that are 200 level or above. Technical Electives must be approved by one of the physics advisors.
Courses in RED are only offered once per year
Courses in BLUE can only be scheduled by contacting Robin Wyatt at wyatt.60@osu.edu
