<p>I'm guessing 4 or 5. I'm also curious since I'm thinking of pursuing an outside concentration from physics with biophysics. If I were to do this, would I also have enough available course slots to take more courses that I would like to take outside of the sciences? My biggest concern is Organic Chemistry. I know that I would probably have to take organic chemistry for this possible course of study, yet I would also have to take general chemistry as a prerequisite, making me take a total of 2 years of chemistry. I know that some schools don't require general chem as a prerequisite (that's what I was told at Williams), but I don't think this is true at Cornell; is it? It's not that I don't want to take 2 years of chemistry, but would I have enough time to also do the major and take some bio courses, while still being able to take a few other things I want besides distribution requirements (philosophy is another interest of mine - and I definitely want to take logic)? I don't want to fall into the trap of only strictly doing science, as I have many other interests. I've heard that Cornell makes this very flexible though.</p>
<p>4 or 5 full courses is average. (3-4 credits) A 1 or 2 credit course might be thrown in there on top.</p>
