AP/DACP PHYSICS
Physics is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course that explores topics such as kinematics, dynamics, gravity, rotational motion, momentum, energy, mechanical waves, thermal properties of matter, and fluids. Through inquiry-based learning and labs, students will develop critical scientific thinking and reasoning skills.
Students in this physics course will have two options to earn college credit in physics. The first option is to earn a passing score on the AP Physics Exam ($100), which may count for credit at some institutions. The second option is to enroll in the DACP (Dual Academic Credit Program) and earn UW-River Falls credit. Students must meet the criteria set by UWRF in order to take the course as DACP and also pay a fee, $105 per credit (total $525 ), or $55 per credit if the student is eligible for free/reduced lunch. These credits can be applied to UWRF Programs or can be transferred to other institutions. Upon request, each student will receive an official transcript showing the course and corresponding grade. The grade earned at BHS is the same grade you will earn on your UWRF transcript, which will become part of your official college record. *See how the credits transfer to other colleges and universities by clicking here.
