This transfer pattern is designed for students planning to transfer to a four-year
college or university with a major in physics/physical science but are uncertain as
to the transfer institution. The courses included in this program closely parallel
the first two years of a physics/physical science major at many four-year institutions.
This is a transfer program and is designed to enable students to transfer to a four-year
college or university. Check with your advisor and the Advising Center staff as soon
as possible to ensure specific course transferability.
Successful completion of this program qualifies a student to apply for an Associate
of Science degree in Arts and Sciences - Area of Concentration in Physics.
