Physics Associate in Science for Transfer
The Associate in Science degree in Physics for Transfer is designed to prepare students to begin upper division course work in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree (or ultimately a graduate degree) in physics upon transfer to a four-year college or university. Earning this degree should equip the student with the fundamental knowledge of physics contained in a calculus-based introductory physics sequence and the mathematics that supports that level of competency. The student will demonstrate proficiency in communication, critical thinking, quantitative problem solving, and laboratory science skills. This degree represents a step in a path preparing students for careers in any of the many branches of physics, physics education, and other technical fields, such as some engineering disciplines in which physics
