This Associate of Science transfer option is designed for part- and full-time students with academic and/or professional interest in the areas of the physical sciences. The degree is composed of two concentrations: chemistry and physics. Each concentration is designed to prepare students for transfer to a similar four-year program at a college or university. These concentrations provide a common first semester for maximum flexibility for those students still deciding which area to explore. All students are advised to consult an academic advisor and their intended transfer institution to ensure that courses selected are applicable for transfer.
The maximum number of credits accepted in transfer from other institutions to this program is 45.
Astronomy, biochemistry, chemistry, consulting, data analysis, engineering, environmental science, forensics, materials science, medical physics, medicine, patent law, pharmacy, physics, quality assurance/control, research analysis, science writing, teaching, technical sales.
