Physics • Associate in Science

Transfer Program

Total Credit Hours: 60

Colleague Code: AS.PHYS

Program Information:

  • This program is intended for students planning to earn a bachelor’s degree in physics or some closely related area.
  • Since program requirements vary among the four-year schools, the above courses are only suggested guidelines. Students are strongly encouraged to explore the specific program requirements of the four-year schools they are considering for their transfer, as they make their course selections for their first two years of study at LLCC. Additionally, LLCC advisors, faculty members, and deans are also sources of helpful advice.
  • Students who are planning on teaching physics in a secondary school are required to take and pass the Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP) prior to transferring to an upper-division institution. Please contact the Education Department at 217-786-2403 or 217-786-2391 for further information.
  • Although not required to earn the A.S. degree, students should consider taking either MAT 235 and/or CSC 175 during the summer or lighter fourth semester to better prepare for a seamless transfer to a university.
