B.A. in Physics: 6 Year Program

This is a suggested plan for students wishing to obtain a B.A. in Physics in six years. Physics students are strongly urged to consult with a faculty member in the Department of Physics prior to taking any classes at CSUSB. Course availability is subject to budgetary restrictions.

The General Education Courses (labeled (A1) to (G1)) need not be taken in the order listed, except that certain categories must be completed before reaching upper division standing. See the Bulletin of Courses for details.
