*Research (PHYS 399) may be all PHYS or split between PHYS and CHEM.

With prior Physics Department approval, both hours of research may be completed in an approved off-campus program (usually during the summer).

NOTE: A student cannot receive a major in Chemical Physics AND a major in Chemistry or Physics. Students satisfying both sets of requirements will be allowed to choose which major they wish to appear on their transcript.
