Associate in Science - Transfer (AS-T)
A bachelor’s degree in physics is an excellent preparation for advanced study in astronomy
and astrophysics, atmospheric science, biophysics, chemical physics, computer science
and engineering. Students can complete the first two years of studies toward a bachelor’s
degree and can also specialize in physics education. Professional careers include
research positions with government, universities and private industrial laboratories,
observatories and science museums.

*It is recommended that sequence courses be completed at one institution.
Minimum transferable credits required to earn this degree: 90 with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0. A course cannot be credited toward more than one distribution or skill area.
Notes:
Program planning is based on information available at the time of preparation. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with their LCC advisor and for checking specific major requirements of baccalaureate institutions in the year prior to transferring. Consult the LCC catalog for LCC graduation requirements.
Most four-year universities require one year of a single foreign language as a graduation requirement.
