Introductory Physics

Make physics fun! Don't plan to be a physicist? Knock out your introductory physics requirements in one summer, typically between freshman and sophomore years.

Discover programs that cover introductory physics for all STEM students

Physics program basics:

  • Space is limited in some locations and will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis. Consider back-up options.
  • Programs are worth 8.0 semester units over 2 mandatory physics courses, each 4 weeks long for 8 weeks abroad, June-August.
  • MATH 012 or MATH 022 with C- or above required by the time of departure.
  • GPA of 2.5 required for most programs.
