There are three introductory sequences for majors in the biological sciences (including pre-health professional curricula), computer science, chemistry, and other sciences, as well as for students who desire an elementary but thorough introduction to physics. All three cover basically the same material but utilize different teaching techniques.
- General Physics - 2 semester sequence. 01:750:203-204 (lectures + recitations) 01:750:205-206 (laboratory). Pre-requisite: pre-calculus or calculus. Fulfills all the physics requirements for science majors, as well as admission to health profession schools and graduate schools. Not recommended for BS Physics or Astrophysics majors.
- Extended General Physics - 2 semester sequence. 01:750:201-202 (lectures + recitations + laboratory). Pre-requisite: pre-calculus or calculus. Identical content as General Physics. Intended for science, science teaching, and pre-health profession majors with a nontraditional background or who would benefit from additional support.
- Physics for the Sciences - 2 semester sequence. 01:750:193-194 (integrated lectures + recitations + laboratory) with an emphasis on scientific reasoning and experimental design. Pre-requisite: pre-calculus or calculus.
Elements of Physics - 1 semester course. 01:750:161. Pre-requisite: pre-calculus or calculus. Primarily for School of Pharmacy students; students from other schools should contact the Physics and Astronomy Undergraduate Program Director before registering. Does not meet requirements for SAS or SEBS majors.
