Hi, I’m an incoming freshman majoring in computer engineering. I was wondering if a physics placement exam is offered at UMD? I’m hoping to place out of PHYS161: General Physics, Mechanics and Particles Dynamics.
I don’t think there is one. You’d have to transfer AP credits in (http://www.transfercredit.umd.edu/plc/APGenEd.pdf) or take an equivalent course at a community college, I believe. (I’m a CS major, but a quick Google tells me no. I’m pretty sure the only exemption exams UMD offers is the standard one for math, a foreign language one, and the one for the CS track.)
