AP/IB PolicyStudents who have completed advanced work in physics
before coming to Macalester can use that experience to get college
credit and to place out of our introductory classes.
The department may recognize advanced work for placement
purposes even if no college credit is awarded. In practice, this
amounts to waiving prerequisites for advanced courses. Placement
decisions are made on an individual basis by the faculty member
teaching the advanced course, in consultation with the chair. Currently our major requirements consist of 33 physics
credits, including successful completion of a list of required courses,
an advanced lab experience, and capstone. Our recent practice has
been that advanced work which receives Macalester college credit may
count toward that total. Courses which students place out of do
not. |
