PHYSICS

Students obtaining the Associate in Science in Physics for Transfer degree (AS-T in Physics) will learn the concepts and principles upon which physical knowledge is based, including mechanics, rotational motion, fluids, thermodynamics, waves, electricity and magnetism, relativity, atomic and nuclear physics, and quantum theory.� This degree provides students with sufficient understanding of physical concepts, problem solving skills and analytical thought processes to prepare them to transfer into a university level major in Physics.� The Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is a special degree offered at California Community Colleges. Students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to a campus within the California State University (CSU) system in a similar major, although not necessarily to a specific campus. Students who complete an AA-T or AS-T are given priority consideration when applying to a particular program that is similar to the student�s community college major and will be given a special GPA advantage when applying to CSU impacted campuses or majors. Students who are planning to pursue an AA-T or AS-T are strongly advised to meet with a counselor for additional information about this transfer program. �The Associate in Science in Physics for Transfer degree requires: �(1) Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:������(A) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education � Breadth Requirements.���(B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. �(2) Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. �(3 ) Earn a �C� or better grade in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis.�
