Equivalency Details

The information presented is an unofficial guide to how courses may transfer. Other factors to consider are grades received in the courses, the year in which the course was taken, and the major pursued after transfer. In all instances, final decisions about acceptance of course credit will be made by University of Alaska Anchorage.

If you complete the following at Colorado College:

  • These courses provide an introduction to the theories of classical physics at a mathematical level that involves the use of calculus where appropriate. It is similar in content to 141, 142 except that relativity and quantum physics are not covered and the material is treated with more advanced mathematics. The first block includes the areas of mechanics, waves, thermodynamics and kinetic theory; the second continues with electricity, magnetism and optics. This sequence of courses is designed to meet the needs of students planning to major in the physical sciences or enter an engineering program. (Meets the laboratory/field requirement for natural sciences.) Prerequisite: Consent of instructor or Mathematics 128 or equivalent and Studies in Humanities Physics. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: Scientific Investigation of the Natural World lab or field requirement.) 1 unit - Burns, Cervantes, Hilt, Purdue.
