Advanced Course Requirement. One course from: P421 Mechanics, 422** E&M, 423 Statistical Phys,
424** Quantum Mech, 531 Electronics, 551 Biological Physics, 553 Optics, 590M Medical physics. **You
should not take P422 or 424 without taking P282 beforehand. Note that other 500-level courses might have pre-reqs.
 
 
Concentration in an Area of Focus. Minimum 18 credits, approved by your Physics advisor.*
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In a few sentences attached or below, explain (a) what is the specific focus or rationale for your 18-credit
concentration and (b) how the selected courses fit in with these goals.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
† Students who enrolled at UMass prior to Fall 2010 are not required to take 440. They take two courses from 440, 421, 422,
423, 424, 531, 553, or 590M.
 
* Courses used to fulfill the G-track concentration cannot also be used to fulfill the requirements of another major.
