    Checking it out right now.

    To clarify why I'm specifying this particular set of requirements:
    1) I need any upper level science.
    2) I need 3 credits in Physics/Physical Science.
    3) The first 2 requirements do not have to be separate classes, thus the request for an upper level physics/physical science. 1 stone = 2 birds.
    4) I have not used Calculus in 10 years.

    Based on these criteria, I would like an upper level physical science that is non-calculus based. I agree that this seems illogical, but I'm just hoping someone will stumble across this who has the perfect class in mind.

    I'm poring through the state universities right now, and am also looking into Ocean.

    Thanks for the advice, everybody. I'll let everyone know what I find.

    Define upper level. ALL of the nursing BSN programs I looked at would call general college physics "upper level science" despite it having a 100/200 numeric. TESC used to call 200 upper level. Some schools use 300 or 400. Ask an advisor to look at the Ocean class, if you get the thumbs up, than that means you can go anywhere and get that credit (ie. somewhere without a lab)

    Not at all - these type courses do exist. For example :

    Physics 331 and 332 at Oregon
    http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/CourseSearcher.aspx?sub=PH&chr=bg

    UCB Physics 100 (100 series courses are UD at UCB) physics @ berkeley - Upper Division Courses

    Physics 367 at Ohio OSU Physics: Courses

    Unfortunately I can’t find a distance learning course of this type.

    My university holds me to course numberings. It needs to be a 3 or 4 level class. The SUNY Geology class looks amazing. What a cool area of study! I don't think I can fit it into my degree plan though.

    Thanks Ian. I'm going through state universities right now to see what I can find.
