Students may transfer up to 15 upper-level physics credits from approved courses taken outside UCFV.
This section specifies the physics minor requirements only. See this section for additional Bachelor of Science requirements. In addition to the General BSc requirements, students must complete a minimum of 14 credits from physics courses numbered 300 and above. Students need to combine these physics minor requirements with the credits earned from another science minor or major.
Note: Students must be aware that upper-level physics courses require lower-level physics and math prerequisites. Students are advised to take these lower-level prerequisites in their first two years of full-time study.
