Associate in Science in Physics 2.0 for Transfer (AS-T) Degree

The Associate in Science in Physics 2.0 for Transfer (AS-T in Physics 2.0) at Crafton Hills College is designed for students who plan to transfer to a CSU or UC and pursue a bachelor’s degree in Physics or a related field such as Engineering, Astronomy, Astro-Physics, Computer Science, or Mathematics. This program provides students with a strong foundation in calculus-based physics, single-variable and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and computer programming. Completion of this degree guarantees admission to the CSU system (though not to a specific campus or major) and prepares students for continued study in mathematics and STEM fields.

 

Length of completion: 24 months total (4 semesters / 2 academic years, full-time at 12 units per semester)
