Physics 2.0 for Transfer - AS-T
Description
The Associate in Science in Physics 2.0 for Transfer degree curriculum provides students a basis for understanding the physical concepts and skills required for attainment of upper division status in a four-year college or university. It also provides many of the prerequisite courses for engineering majors.
This Associate Degree for Transfer is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major.
To obtain this Associate Degree for Transfer, students must complete:
- A minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.
- A minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. Students should keep in mind that while a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Consult with a counselor for more information.
- A minimum of 18 semester units of major requirements completed with a grade of “C” or better or a “P” (Pass) if the course is taken on a “pass/no pass” basis.
- The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) with a grade of “C” or better or a “P” (Pass) if the course is taken on a “pass/no pass” basis.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon the successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Apply concepts in physics, physics symbolism and language, and mathematical skills to solve problems in physics.
- Demonstrate skill in scientific communication (both written and oral) and apply these skills to physical concepts, describing results of laboratory experiments, and providing technical information in a clear and concise manner.
- Toggle the visibility of the item detail panel Use experimental techniques in the laboratory environment to obtain accurate and precise data, to evaluate and validate scientific data, to correctly use scientific instruments, and use proper laboratory etiquette.
