Suggested Schedule Starting Freshman Year, BS Major in Physics - Regular Option

This option is recommended for transfer students and UF students not selecting the Enriched Option. Critical tracking criteria are shown in italics after each of the first five semesters. Note that this is only a suggested schedule - individual cases may vary. Students should see an advisor once a semester to be certain they are on schedule.

## Students taking no calculus prior to entering U.F. should consider taking Calc. 3 in the summer at the end of year 1 and Differential Equations in the Fall term of year 2. This affords better mathematical preparation for the upper-level courses.
