Calc Based Physics for MCPHS

I was hoping to clarify some information about the required pre-requisites. After reviewing my transcript vs. the required pre-requsite list I noticed some areas in conflict. I have 8 semester hours of physics, which are physics I and II including labs. These physics courses were trigonometry based instead of calculus based. I was wondering if these classes would fulfill the required physics course. As I will be graduating with my B.S. in December, I would like to know if I have to re-enroll to finish this course?

Anyone have an idea?

Is this for the Worcester campus? If so, they don't really have a preference for alg/trig or calc based physics.

However, Boston does require calc-based physics I. There are exceptions though, in which you've already achieved by taking physics I and II...so you're fine. I contacted admissions about this several weeks ago (that's how I know).

Yeah its for boston... so i should be ok with physics then by taking physics I and II with trig... correct?

Anyway you could get me out of calc II? lol

Yeah, I tried to find a way out of taking Calc 2. They don't have any exceptions for it. It's a requirement you have to meet. I have to take it next semester as well...

Thanks for your help man.. your a lifesaver!

Physics I and II usually do it for admission. Other physics are usually used for Engineering majors.
