Semester Sequence
This is a full-time suggested 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.
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).
- Information Technology: CSIT 101 or CSIT 111 3 Credit(s).
- Social and Behavioral Sciences 6 Credit(s).
Program Requirements and Electives - 30 Credits
Program Electives:
Elective courses should be selected to meet transfer institution requirements.
- ASTM 291 - 293 Independent Study in Astronomy 1-3 Credit(s).
- Additional electives as needed.
Total Number of Credits Required for Degree: 60*
Notes
*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed college coursework at other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 in the first semester at CCBC. This is a 1-credit class, and it does not count towards the number of credits required for a degree or certificate. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) for this requirement to be waived.
**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.
***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.
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 Astronomy. 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:
- describe the features and natures of astronomical objects using astronomical terms and refer to positions, motions and characteristics of celestial objects;
- demonstrate how to incorporate astronomical information into effective written and oral communications;
- apply mathematical methods to the interpretation of astronomical data;
- solve problems involving astronomical topics by using astronomical data and scientific methods;
- explain how results from various observational technologies are used to develop theoretical models of celestial objects;
- observe celestial objects to draw conclusions about their natures; and
- solve calculus-based physics problems and perform physics experiments.
