Specific statement of prerequisites for second-semester courses:
Mth 163 or equivalent is prerequisite for Mth 164. A high school analysis course, along with appropriate placement scores, would be considered equivalent to Mth 163. So a student with these, or equivalent, prerequisites could be permitted to enroll in both Mth 163 and Mth 164.
Mth 271 or equivalent is prerequisite for Mth 272. A full year of high school calculus, along with appropriate placement scores and successful completion of an additional assessment test, might be considered equivalent to Mth 271. A student meeting these, or equivalent, prerequisites could be permitted to enroll in both Mth 271 and Mth 272.
Mth 173 or equivalent is prerequisite for Mth 174. A full year of high school calculus, along with appropriate placement scores and successful completion of an additional assessment test, might be considered equivalent to Mth 173. A student meeting these, or equivalent, prerequisites could be permitted to enroll in both Mth 173 and Mth 174.
Physics courses are taught at three different levels, with different prerequisites at each level:
Physics 121-122 is an algebra-based course, intended as a science credit in the general curriculum and aimed at the level of the typical college-transfer student.
Physics 201-202 is an algebra-trigonometry based course, and is more challenging than Physics 121-122.
Physics 231-232 is a calculus-based course, intended for students in engineering, chemistry or physics, mathematics, computer science and other disciplines requiring calculus-based physics. This course is very challenging and rigorous.
Physics 121 or equivalent is prerequisite for Physics 122. A full year of high school physics along with successful completion of an additional assessment test, might be considered equivalent to Physics 121. A student meeting these, or equivalent, prerequisites could be permitted to enroll in both Physics 121 and Physics 122.
Physics 201 or equivalent is prerequisite for Physics 202. A full year of a strong algebra-trigonometry-based high school physics course, high mathematics placement scores and/or previous completion of advanced mathematics courses, along with successful completion of an additional assessment test, might be considered equivalent to Physics 201. A student meeting these, or equivalent, prerequisites could be permitted to enroll in both Physics 201 and Physics 202.
Physics 231 or 241, or equivalent, is prerequisite for Physics 232 or 242. A full year of lower-level algebra-trigonometry-based college physics, high mathematics placement scores and/or previous completion of advanced mathematics courses (beyond the level of first-year calculus), along with successful completion of an additional assessment test, might be considered equivalent to Physics 231 or 241. A student meeting these, or equivalent, prerequisites could be permitted to enroll in both Physics 231 or 241, and Physics 232 or 242.
Any student who does meet the 'equivalent' prerequisites and is permitted to enroll in a two-semester sequence would be required to demonstrate, by the end of the drop-add period, the ability to keep up with the pace necessary to complete both semesters during the 10-week term. Failure to do so could result in administrative withdrawal from the second-semester course.
