Physics AS-UCTP

Minimum Units Required: 68.0 units

The Associate in Science for UC Transfer (UCTP) in Physics is designed for students planning to transfer to the University of California as Physics majors. This degree will provide students with a full lower-division physics education, along with a strong foundation in mathematics and chemistry. Completion of this degree, with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher in UC transferable coursework, is a guarantee of admission to the University of California System as a Physics major, although not necessarily admission to any particular UC campus. To earn the Associate in Science in Physics for UC Transfer degree, students must: (1) Complete a minimum of 60 semester units of courses that are eligible for transfer to the University of California system; (2) Complete the Cal-GETC Areas indicated in the degree pathway with a minimum grade of C or P taken on a Pass/No Pass basis. Please note, this will not complete the IGETC requirements, and students may be required to complete remaining requirements after transfer depending on campus

Program Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate analytical and/or conceptual problem solving skills related to the study of Physics.

• Carry out experiments and critically assess data. Students will learn the role of hypothesis, measurement, and analysis in the development of scientific theory, as evidenced by laboratory reports.

• Write a professional scientific laboratory report.
