Hi,
I am looking for examples of BA/BS in Physics programs that are designed to meet the needs of under-prepared students. Our BA/BS Physics programs require students to pass Calc I before taking any course that counts toward the BA/BS- there's a distinct possibility we are losing viable majors before they ever take physics. Have other departments tackled this issue? What have they done?
