Physics for Transfer (AS-T)
In support of the established SB 1440, the Student Transfer Achievement Reform (STAR) Act, and the college’s mission, vision and values, Grossmont College has created the Associate in Science in Physics for Transfer degree. Students earning this Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) will have fulfilled the lower-division major preparation requirements for a degree considered similar at a participating California State University (CSU) campus.
The Associate of Science in Physics for Transfer Degree Program offers a secure foundation for further study in physics or engineering. The primary emphasis of the program is to prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions as science or engineering majors. Students are asked to consult the catalog of the transfer institution for specific requirements.
The following is required for an Associate Degree for Transfer:
- Minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU-transferable units.
- Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework.
- Minimum of 18 semester or 27 quarter units in the major.
- A grade of “C” or higher or “Pass” in all courses required for the major.
- Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern; see Degree Requirements, General Education & Transfer Information section for more information.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:- 1. Students will apply the fundamental principles of physics to real world or idealized situations.
