The Physical Science Track in General Science provides students with the foundational knowledge necessary to continue their education in pursuit of a four-year degree in physical science fields. The curriculum is part of the Associate of Science Louisiana Transfer Degree program (ASLT, www.latransferdegree.org).
Completion of a Louisiana Transfer degree guarantees that the student has met, in full, all lower division general education requirements for all receiving Louisiana public universities. Graduates who transfer with a Louisiana Transfer degree will be assigned junior status at the receiving institution. Note that course and GPA requirements for specific majors, departments, and schools must be met independently and should be verified by the student.
Students should carefully note the Exclusionary Courses listed in the General Education Requirements section - some courses are exclusive to each other and cannot both be taken for credit (e.g., MATH 1113 and MATH 1213 . Also, Natural Science courses for science majors must be chosen (BIOL 1033 instead of BIOL 1013 , etc.).
To receive this degree, the student must;
- Earn a “C” or better in all courses used towards the degree.
- Complete the coursework listed below.
Program Outcomes. Upon successful completion of the program, the graduate will be able to:
- Develop competencies in the key concepts in physical science disciplines.
- Apply the process of science using quantitative reasoning, modeling, and technology.
- Analyze the dynamic interactions of science, technology, and society.
- Develop competencies in physical sciences required for various transfer pathways in physical sciences.
