Physics classesTwo different physics sequencesPhysics has two different sets of introductory physics classes. These courses can be taken between the freshman and junior years (though it is suggested that the courses can be taken in sophomore year if there is flexibility in scheduling this class).
AP Physics creditWith an AP Physics B or C test score of 4 or 5, a student can receive academic credit for part of the College Physics sequence. If a non-Physics major receives credit for the entire College Physics sequence (4 or 5 on both subsections of Physics C), the student may consider taking two of the three University Physics courses (specifically 160/161 and 260/261) to demonstrate an ability to handle more difficult concepts in physics and mathematics. Students who might consider taking University Physics include students who intend to apply to competitive health professions schools or joint degree health professions programs (like the MD/PhD). If a student is having problems with the calculation and mathematical problem-solving aspects of the physics classes, assistance is available through the Mathematics Tutoring Center. |
