The minor in Physics consists of 26 upper-division units in Physics. A minimum of 16 units
                             must be unique to the minor and may not be used to satisfy major requirements.

1. First Tier (16 units) 
   
   
   • Physics 130A           Classical Mechanics
   • Physics 134              Thermal Physics
     
   • Physics 135A           Electricity and Magnetism
     
   • One elective selected from:
                       Physics 150A          Introduction to Condensed Matter Physics
                       Physics 151             Topics in Modern Condensed Matter Research
                       Physics 164             Introduction to Nuclear Physics
                       Physics 165             Introduction to Particle Physics
                       Physics 166             Cosmology
                       Physics 177             Computational Methods for Physical Sciences
     
   
   
2. Second Tier
   
           At least 10 units from any upper-division Physics courses not chosen in the
   first tier. The combined units from the first and second tiers must add to at least 26
   units.
   
   
3. No more than 4 units of Physics 190 (undergraduate research), Physics 195 (Senior
   Thesis), Physics 199-I (Internship) courses may be used to fulfill the upper-division
   units for the minor.
