41.0 credit, including at least a 0.5 PHY credit at the 400-level, from PHY 300-level courses/ PHY 400-level courses/ JPE395H1/ JPE493H1, excluding JPH311H1, JPH441H1

5Ethics and Social Responsibility Requirement: The Physics course JPH441H1 meets this requirement as well as any of the following courses: HPS200H1/ ENV222H1/ ENV333H1/ ESS205H1/ PHL273H1/ VIC172Y1/ AST310H1. See Note 3.

Students in this program have the option to complete the Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) stream.

Notes:

Note 11. Students are encouraged but not required to enrol in the independent study and project courses such as PHY371Y1, PHY478H1, etc.

Note 22. PHY479Y1 (Undergraduate Research Project) satisfies Requirement 3 in Third or Fourth Year and counts as a 0.5 credit at the PHY 400-level for Requirement 4 in Third or Fourth Year. Students may use MAT351Y1 instead of APM346H1 for Requirement 1 in Third Year.

Note 33. Requirement 5 in Third or Fourth Year represents a 0.5 credit with a significant emphasis on "Ethics and Social Responsibility", in the context of the physical sciences. Students may use the CR/NCR option towards any of the courses listed in Requirement 5. Another Arts & Science course with a significant emphasis on "Ethics and Social Responsibility", in the context of the physical sciences, may be substituted subject to approval from the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Studies).

Note 44. The requirement for an integrative, inquiry-based activity is satisfied by the required course PHY424H1.
