Students working on a circuits experiment, part of the physics curriculum

Award Type

Associate in Science Degree A.S.

Catalog Description

The following courses are recommended for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Once a transfer school is selected, students are strongly encouraged to meet with an Academic Success Advisor to determine courses at CLC which will also meet the transfer requirements. To complete any transfer degree, students should follow the college requirements for associate degrees that transfer.

All course prerequisites must be met. Additionally, students are required to select one course from the International/Multicultural (I/M) list to meet graduation requirements. A grade of C or better is required for all English course requirements.

Once the program has been completed, students should be able to:

Recognize the significance of physics concepts and the relevant physics laws and principles in everyday physical processes.

Apply physics laws and principles, including mathematical skills such as algebra, trigonometry, and calculus, to develop and interpret solutions to real and hypothetical scenarios.

Perform laboratory experiments involving data acquisition, analysis, and reporting of results in the context of relevant physics laws and principles.

This plan includes recommendations for students who plan to major in this subject at a four-year school. Students who follow this plan will meet the requirements of a general transfer degree (A.A. or A.S). The CLC degree earned will be a general transfer degree, not a degree in this specific area of study.

In addition to the courses listed in the degree map it is highly recommended for students intending to pursue a physics graduate degree to take a coding course during their undergraduate studies to learn any computer programming language (if taken at CLC, the recommended course would be MCS140).

For more information on recommended courses or program specific advising, contact an Academic Success Advisor or the Engineering, Math and Physical Sciences Division at (847) 543-2044.
