Physics
This program parallels the first two years of baccalaureate degree programs in physics related fields. The major prepares graduates to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue studies in physics, applied physics, computational physics, astronomy, astrophysics, geology, meteorology, material sciences, and other related fields.
What will students learn if they study Science Transfer? Students concentrate on the theoretical and applied sciences, and mathematics. This prepares them to meet the challenges of advanced study in professional careers.
Are there any requirements that must be satisfied before taking courses in the major? Students must have a grade of "C" or better in high school algebra II, geometry, advanced algebra and trigonometry, laboratory chemistry and laboratory physics. They must also pass the College's placement test.
How long will it take to complete this degree? Students who do not need developmental coursework can complete the degree in two years. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.
