Physics, Science Transfer Pattern
|
|
|
Short Description
This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree in Physics. Physics is the study of matter, energy, motion, and force.
Type of Credential
Associate of Science (A.S.) in Science
Transfer Pattern - Physics
Semester Sequence
This is a suggested full-time schedule for a student who has completed any developmental course work and has no transfer credits. Refer to the College catalog for specific requirements in selecting General Education Courses .
Semester 4
- PHYS 252 - General Physics III 4 Credit(s).
- Gen. Ed. Elective - Arts and Humanities 3 Credit(s).
- Gen. Ed. Elective - Social and Behavioral Sciences 3 Credit(s).
- Program Elective - 2-3 Credit(s).
- Program Elective (MATH 259 recommended) 3 Credit(s).
Courses Needed for This Transfer Pattern*
General Education Requirements and Electives - 30 Credits
General Education Requirements:
General Education Electives:
Choose courses in each category from the list of approved General Education courses . One course must be a Diversity course.
- Arts and Humanities 3 Credit(s).
- Social and Behavioral Sciences 6 Credit(s).
Program Requirements and Electives - 30 Credits
Program Electives:
Choose 10 credits. Elective courses should be selected to meet transfer institution requirements.
Total Credits Required for Degree: 60*
Notes
*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed transferable college credits from other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 - Academic Development: Transitioning to College . This 1-credit course is designed to be taken in the first semester at CCBC. Students must provide an official transcript(s) from an accredited institution to document successful completion of college coursework for the ACDV 101 requirement to be waived.
**In order to take CHEM 121 /CHEM 122 , students must have done one of the following:
- Completed CHEM 107 and CHEM 108 with a grade of C or better, OR
- Passed the Chemistry placement exam and completed or tested out of (ENGL 052 and RDNG 052) or ACLT 052, and MATH 083, OR
- Received permission from the Physical Sciences department chair.
***In order to take PHYS 151 , students must have completed MATH 251 with a C or higher and done one of the following:
- Completed high school Physics, OR
- Completed PHYS 101 with a grade of C or better, OR
- Received permission from the Physical Sciences department chair.
Transfer Pattern Description
This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Physics. Beyond the General Education requirements and options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.
Transfer Pattern Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:
- solve calculus-based physics problems;
- apply Newton’s laws of motion and law of universal gravitation;
- apply the laws of conservation of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum;
- apply laws of harmonic motion;
- apply laws of thermodynamics;
- apply laws of electromagnetic induction;
- apply laws of wave motion and optics;
- use data to solve chemistry problems; and
- perform physics experiments and write coherent laboratory reports.
