For your Rock-Solid Safety, I’d suggest that you investigate the community colleges near you that have articulation agreements with U of MI. Should all else fail, you ought to be able to commute from home for two years and complete your A.S. for almost nothing before transferring directly into the Physics program at U of MI.

<p>Yes, this is the ultimate safety, if you have a local community college that offers the transferable math and physics courses appropriate for a physics major.</p>

<p>Here is some information on [transferring</a> to the University of Michigan](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/transfers/]transferring”>Transfer Applicants | University of Michigan Office of Undergraduate Admissions), as well as information for [community</a> college transfer students](<a href=“http://commcoll.umich.edu/transfer/equivalencies.html]community”>http://commcoll.umich.edu/transfer/equivalencies.html).</p>

<p>Look up the required math and physics courses for the physics major on the University of Michigan web site, then use the above sites to check for equivalent courses at your local community colleges.</p>
