Physics (Co-op)

Department of Physics, College of Physical & Engineering Science.

Since some of the required courses are not offered every semester, students entering Honours Physics (Co-op) should plan their program in consultation with the Physics Department.

To graduate from the Co-op program a minimum of 4 successfully completed work terms is normally required.

Specialized Honours

+Fall Semester 1

One biological science course from 17-115, 65-100, 92-102.
19-104 General Chemistry I
63-120 Calculus I
76-100 An Introduction to Mechanics
One Arts or Social Science elective.

+Winter Semester 2

One biological science course from 17-115, 65-100, 92-102.
19-105 General Chemistry II
63-121 Calculus II

One Arts or Social Science elective.

Students with no previous computing experience are strongly advised to take 27-120 or 27-160. If a science elective is chosen, an Arts or Social Science elective will be required later.

+Students who have completed the MPC2 program in first year will have satisfied the requirement to do 19-104, 19-105, 27-150, 27-160, 27-170, 63-120, 63-121 (or 63-100, 63-101 or 63-108 63-208), 76-100, 76-101 (or 76-107, 76-108 or 76-111, 76-113).
