Introduction
The Associate in Science in Physics for Transfer degree provides a student with the general introductory requirements for transferring to a CSU or other four-year school to earn a degree in physics, applied physics, or astronomy. As well, this degree is a good fit for students intending to pursue engineering. This preparation includes the following student learning outcomes: 1) Apply methods of scientific inquiry to investigate questions, and explain the limitations of this approach; 2) Perform experiments, collect and analyze data, evaluate sources of uncertainty, and determine if an experiment correctly verifies theory within expected errors; 3) Use concepts from physics theories to analyze and describe natural phenomena, and 4) Use physical laws, theories, and appropriate mathematics to make quantitative predictions. This program includes twelve units of physics coursework and three semesters of calculus. For students intending to pursue astronomy, it is highly recommended to select a course in astronomy as the elective for this degree. Students transferring to a campus that does accept the Associate in Arts in Political Science for Transfer will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.
