| Physical Science to include an Area of Concentration in Chemistry Program Description |
| This Associate of Science transfer option is designed for part- and full-time students with academic and/or professional interest in the areas of the physical sciences. The degree is composed of two concentrations: chemistry and physics. Each concentration is designed to prepare students for transfer to a similar four-year program at a college or university. These concentrations provide a common first semester for maximum <br>flexibility for those students still deciding which area to explore. CSM&#39;s mission statement states that it seeks to provide &quot;an affordable postsecondary education&quot;. The physical sciences degree is a split from the mathematics and sciences A.S. degree. With the mathematics and sciences A.S., the five concentrations under the degree only had three courses in common (ENG 1010, ENG 1020, FYS 1010), none of which were science courses. Only two concentrations had a common first semester. |
