Note:
Complete 3 semester credit hours to satisfy the Diversity Requirement with a minimum grade of “C.” The Diversity Requirement does not increase the number of credits required for graduation. The course used to fulfill the Diversity Requirement may also be used to fulfill three credits of Core requirements in Communications, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Humanities or Distributed Requirements, providing the diversity course is listed as fulfilling Core requirements in Communications, Social & Behavioral Sciences or the Humanities. If the course does not fall under any of the Core groups, the course used to fulfill the Diversity Requirement may count as an elective.
If students already have calculus 1 completed in high school, it is recommended they take PHY 213 in semester 1.
Completion of MAT 148 (Linear Algebra/ w Applications) and MAT 227 (Differential Equations with Laplace) before transferring is strongly recommended because it is a prerequisite for the next courses in the physics sequence at the Iowa State University, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa.
