For an engineering student who would like to major in physics, a typical 3 year schedule would be:

Year

Fall Semester

Spring Semester

 

12 Week Term

3 Week Term

12 Week Term

3 Week Term

 

Fresh.

Physics 213 (Phys. I)

Distribution Req.

Physics 214 (Phys. II) & 250 (1 hr)

Physics 208 (Electronics)

Math 198 (Calc. I)

Math 199 (Calc. II)

Freshman Colloquium

First Year Seminar

 

Soph.

Physics 320 (Modern Phys)

Physics 330 (Mechanics)

Upper level PHYS

Math 218 (Linear Alg.)

Math 200 (Calc. III)

Distribution Req.

Junior

Cpsc. 170 & 172

Math 243 (Diff. Eq.)

Upper level PHYS

Chem. 120 (Gen Chem I)

Chem. 121 (Gen Chem II)

Note that in order to meet Hiram College's graduation requirements, it may be necessary to structure a Student Initiated Collegium so that each of the three courses may also be counted toward the Distribution Requirement.  It is VERY important that this be done the freshman year so that other courses can be adjusted accordingly.  See Dr. Van Wormer to discuss the possibilities.
