Associate in Science (A.S.) in Physical Science

USA

What will I learn?

The following curriculum is designed to provide transfer students with the necessary background to complete a bachelor’s degree with a major in one of the physical sciences. Students should plan their transfer programs with a Parkland academic advisor or counselor and the catalog of the four-year college or university they plan to attend.

Program Notes

Math requirements vary. All physical science majors must complete MAT 128. MAT 124 and 125 are prerequisites for MAT 128. Consult transfer institution about additional math.

• General Education Core Curriculum requirements for the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree do not fully satisfy the IAI General Education Core Curriculum (GECC) requirements. Additional courses to complete the GECC may be taken at Parkland or after transferring. Contact Counseling Services (U267) for guidance on GECC completion.

• Recommended courses are designed to facilitate completion of the A.S. degree and transfer into a four-year college or university with junior standing. Students are advised to follow the recommendations.
