Physics Associate in Science for Transfer
The Associate in Science in Physics for Transfer, also called the Physics AS-T Degree,
is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer with junior status to a CSU
campus in a program or major in Physics for completion of a baccalaureate degree.
Upon successful completion of courses leading to the Physics AS-T Degree the student
will be able to know and understand Physics concepts, skills and application to attain
upper division status in Physics at most 4-year institutions.This degree requires
students to complete 60 CSU transferable units including completion of CSU GE or IGETC
and 24 units in the major with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better. Title 5 requires
that students earn a grade of “C” or better in all courses required for the major
or area of emphasis. There are no additional graduation requirements. Students are
advised to consult with a counselor to verify transfer requirements.
