Collin College provides general academic courses and electives for students who plan to transfer to a college or university. Because of the various transfer requirements at colleges and universities, and to ensure enrollment in appropriate courses, students should verify course transferability and degree applicability with a Collin College academic advisor and/or the college or university that they plan to attend.

To earn an associate degree, complete the 42 credit hour General Education Core, and 18 credit hours of general studies electives and the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree requirements.

Check with your transfer institution before registering for general studies electives to make sure your courses will be degree applicable to your bachelor’s degree at the transfer institution.

The science of physics seeks to understand the physical universe and deals with the behavior of matter and energy at their most fundamental levels. By observation, physicists search for the basic principles that explain natural phenomena.

Many physics courses are offered online or in hybrid formats. The courses that are part of the sequence for the AA or AS degree are also potentially offered in 14-week formats as student demand and instructor availability permit.
