1. Statement of Program Goals and Objectives:
Students who successfully complete the Associate in Science in Physics for Transferare guaranteed transfer admission to a CSU campus to continue their educational path towards a Bachelor's degree.
The program learning outcomes for the AS-T in Physics include:
1. Demonstrate appropriate integration of math and physics concepts to solve real-world problems.
2. Demonstrate appropriate design and execution of experiments, as well as analysis and interpretation of the data.
3. Demonstrate an ability to communicate clearly using written, oral, and graphical
2. Catalog Description:
Physics is the study of why and how the world we live in behaves the way it does. Using theories and laws based upon observation and testing, physics considers and describes the behavior of our everyday world including motion, forces, mechanical and thermal energy, waves, electricity and magnetism, and light.
Physics majors typically receive at least a Bachelor's degree and are prepared for many jobs in government and industry as well as being prepared to pursue graduation education in many fields of science and engineering.
The AS-T in Physics does not include some important lower-division classes that are required for a Bachelor's degree in Physics. Students taking courses at Gavilan who are preparing to transfershould take additional courses at Gavilan that are part of the lower-division preparation at CSU campuses so they are prepared to take upper-division major courses after transferring. Consult with the instructor or a counselor early in your first semester at Gavilan to ensure you will take all of the courses required for the major.
Pursuant to SB1440, section 66746, the description must also include the following completion requirements:
(1) Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
(A) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education – Breadth Requirements.
(B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
(2) Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
ADTs also require that students must earn a C or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis, or a "P" if the course was taken on a 'pass-no-pass' basis.
