<p>I need to take an honors high school phyics course over the summer, preferably online (with lab), although it doesn't have to be. I can't seem to find any, though, so please help me out! Please list all programs/websites/phone numbers of places that offer honors physics courses over the summer. It has to be algebra-based. THANK YOU!</p>
<p>bummmmmmmpp!!</p>

<p>It wasn’t online, but our S took a physics course last summer at Colorado College. They have several 3-week residential programs that offer actual college credit to high school students. The format is one course at a time - block plan. There are scholarships available and there were several physics and astronomy offerings open to high school students last summer.</p>
<p>Your original post is quite demanding, and coupled with your incessant bumping (please do not bump a post three times within ten minutes, as you appear to have done, regardless of how little life you have), I’m not sure how to respond.</p>
<p>You can look at Northwestern’s CTD Equinox program; [courses</a> listed here](<a href=“http://www.ctd.northwestern.edu/summer/programs/equinox/searchEquinox/]courses”>http://www.ctd.northwestern.edu/summer/programs/equinox/searchEquinox/).</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the course topics don’t cover the same ones my school does, so my school can’t accept the credit. Here’s the physics course description for my school:</p>
<p>The fundamental areas of Physics are covered with special emphasis on Mechanics; the study and description of the motion, energy,
momentum, and forces on matter throughout the entire universe. This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of Physics to
round out your Science education. In addition to Mechanics, each student shall become proficient in problem solving, critical thinking,
and cooperative learning.</p>
<p>If you can find any that match this, that’d be great. THANK YOU!</p>
<p>chaseholl-
Sorry about the bumping. I’m pretty new to college confidential and I thought bumping was supposed to generate more views to your thread… correct me if I’m wrong? Also, I don’t want to start any arguments or anything; I just wanted to clarify, but my original post had to be specific because my school demands those requirements in order for them to give me credit for any physics course I take. The only requirement that isn’t necessary is the online part, but I stated that that was only a preference.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for your help!! I checked out the Equinox course- it seems good, but it’s way above my budget, sadly. Would you know of any other places that offer cheaper courses?</p>
<p>Bumping means it gets sent to the top of the list of threads in a subforum. Yes, it means more visibility, but it also gets kind of annoying and you shouldn’t really have to do it more than once every two days, and my personal maximum is three bumps total (or about a week). If someone hasn’t answered by then, then there probably is no hope :).</p>
<p>If you want to take for-credit courses, they’re not going to be cheap; Northwestern’s CTD is different because it offers high school credit (AP) courses, while most other programs are for high schoolers who want to enroll in regular undergraduate courses (with undergrads in the class at the same time). Because credit is given, the prices will, of course, be steep.</p>
<p>Are there any local universities (or even community colleges) that offer what you’re looking for? Commuting is much more inexpensive than staying in a dorm for a few weeks. Also, does your school have an established dual-credit/dual-enrollment program? If you don’t know, I would ask your counselor; my school does not, but many do offer this option.</p>
<p>Oohhhhh I see. Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind about bumping.</p>
<p>The course itself doesn’t actually have to be for-credit. My school is willing to GRANT credit, though, if I complete a course that complies with their policy (meaning that it matches our physics courses).</p>
<p>No local universities offer summer physics. I’m looking into community colleges, but there’s only two around where I live and one of them doesn’t offer summer physics. I’m looking into the second one. My school does have a dual enrollment program, so I could do that for summer physics if the second community college offers it.</p>
<p>I would say that all the summer programs that fit your school’s requirements will be for-credit, though–it’s hard to find a non-credit program that covers all the necessary topics, as non-credit programs often are more relaxed and aren’t structured like a true course.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your advice about looking into local universities! I looked into one of my local universities and they offer a summer physics course for only about $1000. I just need to talk to my counselor and dual enroll. :D</p>
<p>Yay :)</p>
