Associate in Science for Transfer - Physics

The Associate in Science in Physics for Transfer Degree provides a foundation in physics and mathematics for students planning to transfer into a baccalaureate program in physics or physics education. Successful completion of the transfer degree in Physics guarantees the student acceptance to the California State University to pursue a baccalaureate degree in Physics or a related field. Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, students will be able to apply appropriate physical laws and mathematical techniques to analyze various physical situations. Students will be able to perform various scientific experiments and to analyze data to check agreement with theoretical predictions.

The Physics AS-T degree requires completion of the major and the IGETC (37-39 units) requirements.

All courses used to satisfy the major for the Associate in Science degree must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
