Physics
The concentration in Physics prepares students to transfer to four-year universities
to pursue a bachelor's degree in Physics, Engineering, and/or Computer Science.
The associate in science (A.S.) degree is designed to complete the lower-division
(freshman and sophomore) portion of a bachelor of science degree in STEM-related majors.
As a result, the A.S. degree does not include the entire General Education Core Curriculum
(GECC). Therefore, students will need to complete MORE general education courses after transfer
by completing the GECC curriculum while enrolled at the participating Illinois transfer
institution OR fulfilling the general education requirements of their selected non-participating
transfer institution.
