Prerequisites: Physics/Chemistry

[bettafish293]

Hi everyone,

I'll be applying for fall 2019. I have all my prereqs done except for chemistry/physics. I've taken chem twice now, and I just cannot do well in it. At my university, the intro class is taught by one professor who I do not learn well with in a subject I have always had trouble with. Unfortunately, I just dropped the class for a second time and do not want to take it again as I feel like no matter how much tutoring and outside studying I've done, it's just not a subject I'll do well in, and I don't want one class bringing my GPA down a ton. I was considering taking physics instead. My university offers a course titled "physical science" PSC 2121 that falls under the department of physics. Would this fill the ASHA physics prereq, or does the course need to say "physics"? 

If anyone has any insight I'd greatly appreciate it, as I am on a bit of a time crunch now ?

Hi! I also took “physical science” through my community college and it was counted just fine. Good luck!

I've read it's the schools discretion whether or not they accept physical science.  I would ask the schools you are planning on applying to what their policy is on that.

Maybe try an online class from a different university? Chemistry is not my friend. Seriously- I do not do well with it. I was really nervous to take it, but I took an online course through WKU over summer and got an A. The professor was kind and provided a thorough syllabus. He made himself available for questions and allowed students to retake their tests up to 10 times (he formatted the class for "mastery", so students could move on once they passed a test). Some students finished very early because the course became self-paced in a way.
