<p>I'm a current undergraduate engineer looking to take some classes over the summer to fulfill some of my prerequisites, mainly Calc 3 and Physics 240. </p>
<p>I was recently offered a well paying internship but it's full-time so I need to take the summer class online. I was wondering if there are universities that I can take one of the two classes online and transfer the credit back to UMICH.</p>
<p>How would you get out of doing the lab?</p>
<p>If you’re referring to 240, I would take the lab at Umich. I’m only looking to take 240, not 241.</p>
<p>online credits for math, physics, chemistry will not transfer. The only online credits that transfer are hum and soc sci, both of them require special approval in addition to the typical approval process due to the online nature</p>
<p>^^
that is not true, bearcats. I know for a fact that many people transfer in online credits for physics 140&240</p>
<p>^ Sorry I always thought it was Math and Physics. So I guess online physics transfer. But not the lab portion. You cant do lab online.
Online math, however, absolutely does not transfer.</p>

<p>"Courses that do not transfer - IOE designated, Any online MATH course, Physical Education, Welding, CAD, Drafting, Graphics, Robotics, Pre-engineering courses, Computer Operation (Using Microsoft applications), SWC, ELI, Independent Study and any course receiving a grade of C- or below. "</p>
<p>I wouldn’t take 240 online…</p>
<p>Yes, physics 240 (241) should be able to be fulfilled online. I actually recently finished PHY 241 online from a reputable and completely transferrable institution. I would advise wherever you take the course from that you double-check that it is on the transfer equivalency database.</p>
<p>@bearcats, yeah I read that whole thing about online math AFTER completing calc II and III online (through a very reputable Big 10 University… I’m sure some of you can figure out which one). It’ll be a crapshoot whether they’ll accept it or not, but I’ll just have to explain that I was very diligent in finding the most reputable institution and since I’m in the military there is no other university or college around here that offers those courses. </p>
<p>I personally spoke to the transfer admissions coordinator and he said that there should be absolutely no problem in transferring those courses in… but I really won’t know until I am accepted and see what does transfer.</p>
<p>If anyone is interested in the schools I used, please feel free to PM me and I’ll give you more information. I really don’t agree with advertising and not even sure if it’s allowed, but if someone is interested I will definitely pass on the research that I’ve done!</p>
<p>Oh, and at MLDWoody, I would have entirely agreed with you prior to taking my physics sequence online. In hindsight, I would suggest taking PHY 241 in a classroom setting for the labs, but 240 online is very similar to the course offered in a classroom setting. I would suggest taking 240 in a classroom setting because the courses are very structured and the professor generally leads the students to the main focus points for tests and quizzes. If you want to really learn the material, and feel well-rounded with understanding both theoretical and practical applications of it, then online courses will give you this advantage. </p>
<p>I have maintained a 3.89 GPA with 110 credit hours of coursework and I will say that the PHY 140 and 240 taken online were utterly the hardest courses I’ve ever taken. The structure of online schooling (at least good ones) require you to have 100% discipline and ability to be proactive otherwise you will quickly fall so far behind! </p>
<p>I will still always support classroom settings. Admittedly, for some people it’s just not an option at certain times and picking a quality institution that strives to challenge students will definitely suffice!</p>
<p>can u tell u which colleges offer it in summer. I heard MSU offers it online in summer. Is it worth it?
appreciate ur input</p>
