A.S. Liberal Arts and Sciences with Advisement Area in Physics
Sample Schedule
The schedule below shows how the requirements for the A.S. Liberal Arts and Science degree with an advisement area for transfer in physics may be met in four semesters. Please check with your transfer institution with regard to specific courses and requirements. This schedule is an example of one of many possible schedules that might be followed by a full-time student. Many students attending Finger Lakes Community College who have work and/or family obligations choose a different sequence of courses and take more than four semesters to fulfill the requirements for the degree. Similarly, students who find they need to take some preparatory course work may plan a schedule that takes more than four semesters to complete. All students should consult their advisors when they plan their schedules.
