Physics

Physics 1 and Physics 2 (algebra based): Students with scores for AP 1 or 2 should consult with the department about placement but will not receive course credit.

Physics C (calculus based): Students having obtained a 5 in Mechanics and/or E&M should consult with the department about placement. Students with a 5 in both Mechanics and E&M can place into Physics 290. They will receive 2 credits upon successful completion of 290, assuming that they have not completed any courses in an introductory sequence. Students having obtained a 5 in Mechanics, independent of their score in E&M, can place into Physics 195 or 205. They will receive 1 credit upon successful completion of 195 or 205, assuming that they have not completed any of the first-semester courses of the introductory sequence.

In all cases, successful completion requires a minimum grade of B.
