Physics for Life Sciences I

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course is the AP-credit equivalent of PHYS 20210 . It requires demonstrated knowledge of the basic principles of mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermal physics, wave motion, and sound. Primarily for students in the life sciences. Laboratory meetings each week. Students intending to apply to medical or other professional schools where AP science credit is not accepted, or where two semesters of general physics with laboratories at the college level are required, almost universally waive their AP credit at Notre Dame and take the classes for academic degree credit. In these cases, PHYS 10095 /10096 will revert to non-degree credit on their final transcript, when replaced by 8.0 letter-graded degree credits of either PHYS 20210 /21210 + 20220/21220 or PHYS 10310 /11310 + 10320/11320 as determined by the requirements of their respective majors.
