Notes/Comments: This plan is an example of what a four year plan could look like for a typical student. Placement exam scores in math as well as the completion of coursework may change the plan. It should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor each Semester to discuss course scheduling. All requirements are subject to change by NIU.

PHYS electives for students majoring in the Applied Physics emphasis will depend on the student's particular interests, and should be selected with the assistance of a faculty advisor from the Department of Physics. Transfer students, students who have taken PHYS 210 and PHYS 211 or the equivalent, and students who do not place into MATH 229 should consult a faculty advisor from the Department of Physics.
