 Biomedical Physics Minor |  
																| 
 |  
							 |  
													| Requirements for the Minor
 The biomedical physics minor may be completed with up to 22 credits, maximum. It is recommended that students interested in the biomedical physics minor discuss their interests with the chair of the physics department in order to tailor the program to the student's career goals and interests. Any alterations from the program require consultation with the chair of the physics department.Electives
