Associate in Science Degree Programs (Transfer)
Physical science describes any of the scientific disciplines which involve the systematic study of the inorganic world. At UCC, you can earn a transfer degree that can be applied in the following areas:
- Chemistry
- Physics
Employment Outlook:
Physical science programs provide a wide variety of employment opportunities. Traditionally strong areas of employment in the physical sciences would include engineering firms, government agencies, research and development, and science education. There are numerous non-traditional careers in the physical sciences as well, such as consulting, forensics, science journalism, environmental science, informatics, toxicology, patent law, business and sales. Excellent career opportunities are available in many of these areas if the student is willing to relocate.
The physical science curriculum is designed so that students may complete one or two years of study depending on their level of preparation before transferring to a four-year institution. Because course requirements vary at each four-year institution, it is recommended that interested students work closely with an advisor to plan their program.
Once enrolled in this program, you can expect to take courses in some of the following subjects:
- Physical Science - Physics
- Physical Science - Chemistry
- General Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- General Physics
- Gen. Physics w/Calculus
- Astronomy
- And other subject areas depending on chosen discipline.
