**PHYSICS 2.0

Associate in Science for Transfer**

Description

The Associate in Science in Physics 2.0 for Transfer (AS-T) Degree is intended to meet the lower division requirements for Physics and Physics Education majors at a CSU campus that offers a Physics baccalaureate degree.

This degree will prepare those students interested in laying a foundation for further study and for a bachelor’s degree in Physics and Physics Education. Since physics is the most basic of sciences, this degree will also satisfy some of the lower division requirements for a variety of baccalaureate degrees including Engineering, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science.

In addition to the courses listed below, the following requirements must be met for completion of the AS-T Degree in Physics 2.0:

  1. Completion of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.
  2. Achievement of a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. (Some majors may require a higher GPA. Students should consult with a counselor for more information.)
  3. Completion of the major with a grade of “C” or better in each course or a "P" if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the "P" is equal to a "C" or better.
  4. Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.

Students are advised to check with the Counseling Department or Transfer Center for the courses accepted into the Physics major at the CSU where they seek transfer.
