Transfer Track/Physics (PHYSC-AA)
AREA OF CONCENTRATION: This transfer track is designed to prepare students entering the university as a physics major. All state public universities offer a B.S. degree in physics. Florida State University also offers a degree in radiation physics, and the University of Florida offers a B.S. degree in Astronomy (which requires the same physics transfer track at Gulf Coast State College). Most university physics programs require a foreign language for which a country speaking that language is also involved in physics research. Students may choose among the following: French, German, Japanese, and Russian. It is strongly recommended that students be familiar with the admissions requirements for the university they plan to attend.
