The Physics program provides the lower-division coursework needed in order to continue in a bachelor’s-degree physics program. The program provides valuable quantitative and problem-solving skills that are in demand by employers hiring, e.g., lab technicians, or in a variety of fields such as manufacturing and education. Of people who obtain a terminal bachelor’s degree in physics, about half work in industry, in fields such as aerospace, military, software, and electronics. Most of the other half work either as high school teachers or as lab technicians at universities or government-funded laboratories. PhD’s in physics are qualified for teaching at the university level and for scientific research, as well as for higher-level jobs in the same areas as those with bachelor’s degrees.

The Physics program offers the following degree:

• Physics Associate in Science Degree for UC Transfer (A.S.-UCT)
• Physics Associate in Science Degree for Transfer (A.S.-T)
