Associate in Science - Physics for Transfer

The Physics department strives to provide students with the educational background necessary to pursue a successful career and to successfully transition into a 4-year academic program. Physics is the foundation discipline which must be incorporated into the education of anyone preparing for a career in engineering, or science. It is equally true for the nonscientist having the responsibility to make meaningful decisions in society—the citizen in politics, the business person or social scientist who deals with problems of a society strongly linked to technology based on application of physical principles. A truly educated person preparing for life in the 21st century can hardly afford not to be aware of the statements of contemporary physics. 

The Associate in Science for Transfer degree in Physics provides students with the foundational knowledge necessary to make a successful transition into a Baccalaureate Degree at any of the CSU campuses.
