Do I really need to take Physics to transfer if I took a later course somewhere else?

<p>Ok this is my scenario. I started college 10 years ago at a university and they took my AP physics AB of 3 for Physics 1 credit. At that school (University of South Florida) Physics is a 2 year sequence for engineering majors. So its physics 1 (which covers the mechanics) and physics 2 which is the EM portion. I passed physics 2 while at the university there. </p>

<p>So here I am transferring. Looking at the AP tables of the schools I applied to, they do not take AB scores. Ok cool....but what if my other school gave me credit for it? Do I still have to take it? I'm taking mechanics now and honestly its the same thing I took in high school. I got a 100% on my first exam. </p>

<p>so my question is if a university gave me credit and I finished a sequence...do I still have to take this class? I would much rather not too since physics is a lot of work, although I know it already. Anyone have any insight? The drop date is coming up and If I don't have to take it I will def drop the class. </p>

<p>I will email the schools I applied to tomorrow and find out.</p>

<p>Possibly, yes; because they might not accept that class or might not be on their level. Who knows. I recommend asking the school counselor you’re transferring to for the best answer.</p>

<p>that reminds me not to hijack this thread, but i took 185 to finish my igetc, but i have a feeling none of the uc will actually count it since i didn’t complete it in a series.</p>

<p>If you just want my opinion based on no facts whatsoever…</p>

<p>I wanna say that if your courses from that university transfer then the credit they gave you for Physics 1 should transfer too…
This is just what I think would happen. Definitely call to confirm.</p>

<p>thats what I am thinking. I seen how I had to take physics again and I was like omg, I gotta put this in my schedule. But now that I am taking it geez, I already know everything. I totally don’t need to take it. </p>

<p>But the school I went to was a research university. Its not like it was uni of phoenix or anything. The AP score sure, but the physics sequence was part of an engineering curriculum. And I completed the 2nd course fine with a B.</p>
