Starting next semester, I will be taking part in a year long, accelerated math program, which if I finish, will allow me to get a master's degree in place of a bachelor's. My primary major is physics though, and I have been considering the possibility of substituting some of my required classes with graduate level classes instead.
I was wondering how much work would be necessary to do this or if it is even at all feasible.
If the only difference between the undergraduate and graduate level classes are just the mathematical rigor, I think I would be able to manage it. If there is a lot of prerequisite knowledge though, the option wouldn't really seem to be on the table.
I've heard of people graduating with a degree in math and then switching to physics in grad school, so I would think it is at least possible to go into the graduate classes without any prior knowledge, but I figure you guys have better advice than anecdotes would provide
