Physics, Renewable Energy Concentration, BS

This concentration can result in students earning the Renewable Energy Certificate from Madison College, in addition to a BS degree in Physics from Edgewood College. Students can begin taking renewable energy courses at Madison College at any time, as many are short or online courses. Students considering graduate school in physics or engineering should consult with their advisor for recommended additional coursework.

Major Policies

A student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 in all courses taken to fulfill the major and concentration requirements. Any course in which a student receives a grade below “CD” will not be accepted toward the major. Transfer students must take a minimum of 12 physics credits at Edgewood College. All transfer courses must be approved by the department. 

Students double majoring in Chemistry and Physics do not have to complete the seminar requirement twice. They can take either PHYS 480 or CHEM 480.
