Physics Transfer AS-T Track 2 map
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Required Courses:
Total Credits Required: 90
This degree gives students the opportunity to make substantial progress toward fulfilling major requirements while completing at least half of the Breadth requirements for Humanities and Social Science. Completing the AS-T degree will prepare students for upper division study; it does not guarantee students admission to the major. The college recommends that the student identify one or two potential transfer schools and then contact qualified program advisors at those institutions as early as possible to obtain specific, course-by-course advice.

- Cumulative GPA must be 2.0 or higher
- Meet with your advisor each quarter to make sure you are on track!
- Check your transfer institution for specific course requirements.
Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer.
This program can be completed on campus or hybrid. Courses are offered on-campus, online, or hybrid (part on-campus, part online).
90+ Credits = 6+ Quarters* if you take 15 credits each quarter
*Your specific route may take longer than 6 quarters depending on the number of credits you take each quarter and where you start in your math and English pathways.
Physics is the study of nature at its most fundamental level. It is the science upon whose principles all other sciences and technologies are based. Possible careers include physicists, physics teachers, lab technicians, academic researchers, acoustic consultants, astronomers, medical physicists, geophysicists, meteorologists, nuclear engineers, and more.
The AS-T 2 Pre-Physics degree path allows students to prepare for upper divisions study toward a Bachelor of Science degree in physics and enter the college or university at junior standing, should they be admitted to the school’s physics program.
