Declare a Minor

Are you interested in a Physics, Biophysics or Astronomy & Astrophysics minor? Reach out to the Physics Department advisors (phyadvisatgwu [dot] edu (phyadvis[at]gwu[dot]edu)) as soon as possible, so they can discuss the program and course of studies with you. It is crucial to do this early, because the programs have built-in prerequisites and many of the upper-level courses are offered once a year or once every two years.
