Find Calculus-Based Physics Courses for Summer Study in the US"

AI Thread Summary
A college sophomore is seeking recommendations for US colleges offering calculus-based physics courses during summer sessions, as they need to fulfill a requirement before studying abroad. It is noted that many larger universities likely provide such courses, and the University of South Carolina at Columbia is mentioned as offering "Essentials of Physics" this summer. The discussion emphasizes that various institutions typically have summer programs for physics, often in condensed formats, similar to other science and math courses.

I'm currently a sophomore in colllege and because I'm going to study abroad next year I need to take physics at another college during the summer. The trouble is, I need calculus based physics to fulfill my college's requirement. If anyone knows of any colleges in the US that have calculus based physics during their summer programs that would be great. Thanks

A lot of them probably do, especially the larger universities. Does location matter? Have you checked the Web sites for colleges and universities in your area?

For example, the University of South Carolina at Columbia (the main campus) offers PHYS 211-212, "Essentials of Physics," this summer.

most do, in my school for instance they offer both 1 and 2 in 6 week semesters; lots of classes like general chem, bio, and calc are like that too.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
