I haven't really been able to find anything on this. I've taken Physics 1 and 2, do I need the labs? I have 8 credits of physics and will end up with 12.
It may depend of the school. You may want to check the requirements of the school(s) you are applying to. I know for sure the University of Iowa requires Physics Lab.
Probably 90% of the schools I applied to state that Physics must include lab in the ADEA book. I would call the schools your applying to and get a definate answer, but it looks like the majority of them do require it.
