Hey everyone, sorry in advance for the lengthy post (at least vertically). In a nutshell, I've already received a bachelor's degree in political science, but have decided to go back to undergrad to receive a physics degree since it's my passion. Since I'm already behind schedule, I'm hoping to receive my degree in 2 years, and I'll be able to do so if I follow the following schedule... but is it too demanding/too much to handle?
Fall
General Physics II
Calc III
Differential Equations
Computer programming (learning basics of C++)
Spring
Intermediate Mechanics
Intermediate Modern Physics
Intermediate Lab
Mathematical Physics
Thermal Statistical PhysicsFall
Intermediate E&M
Quantum Mechanics I
Advanced Lab
Particle and Nuclear Physics
Linear Algebra
Spring
Quantum Mechanics II
Advanced Dynamics
Optics
Complex Analysis (Or another useful math class)Also, on a side note, I'm contemplating a degree in math as well, which would require basically taking 3 math classes in each summer following these semesters... any thoughts on that? I'm eventually hoping to go to grad school. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated... thanks. Also keep in mind that I'm hoping to find research positions with professors or something similar, which would take up some of my time as well.
