Programs Requiring Physics Courses

Physical Sciences Transfer Degree.

The physical sciences require a rigorous preparation in physics
as well as discipline specific course work. The calculus based
sequence (P121-P123) provides this background. Our emphasis on
hands-on learning and the excellent Laboratory
facilities, and student support
systems make the BC physics department a great place to start.

The Associates in Sciences (AS) degree will allow you to transfer
directly to a university in the state of Washington and continue
pursuing your math or sciences major. There are several distinct
paths described here.
Most universities do not require separate applications to get
into these degree programs so your transition should be relatively
smooth.

Mathematics Transfer Degree.

Any four year degree program in mathematics will have a substantial
science component.. The calculus based physics sequence (p121-P123)
is an excellent choice. Physics is the most thorough discipline
for learning to translate mathematics to practical applications.
Our excellent staff and facilities will help you acquire this
skill.

Life Sciences Transfer Degree.

The algebra based physics sequence (P114-P116) supports life
sciences by presenting a broad survey of topics and emphasizing
those topics that have applications to the life sciences. The
use of real time data collection, excellent lecture demonstrations,
and small group learning opportunities make this sequence accessible
to students whose focus in science is living systems.

The Associates in Sciences (AS) degree Track 1 will allow
you to transfer directly to a university in the state of Washington
and continue pursuing your life sciences major. Most universities
do not require separate applications to get into these degree
programs so your transition should be relatively smooth.

Engineering Transfer Degree.

BC offers a complete Engineering Transfer curriculum. The
calculus based sequence serves the needs of these students by
providing a rigorous survey of topics that support the various
engineering transfer programs:

• Chemical
  and Bio-Engineering
• Electrical
  and Computer Science
• Civil,
  Mechanical and other Engineering

Most Engineering schools require separate admissions to the
engineering program. Check with the school for specific information.

Evening Degree program: Many of the core courses for the Engineering
Transfer Degree are offered
in the evening so that students who work during the day can still
pursue this degree.

Computer Science via the Associate in Arts and Sciences.

The calculus based sequence (P121-123) is one
component of the Computer Science transfer program. In addition to the analytical skills that
a rigorous physics course builds, opportunities exist for computer
science students to apply their skills to data acquisition and
analysis.

Computer Science departments often require separate admissions
to those programs. Check with the school for specific information.

Physics 109 is recommended for students seeking the Bachelor
of Science in Technology.
