Pathway Notes:

While an Associate of Science degree at Brazosport College requires 60 credit hours, the following pathway includes 65 credit hours, applicable to the Bachelor of Science degree in Physics at UHCL.
This pathway requires MATH 2413 Calculus I , which is the first mathematics course applicable to this degree. Some students may be required to take prerequisite courses prior to enrollment.
For students wanting to pursue the Computational Physics Specialization, the following three courses are required and can be completed at BC:
- COSC 1436 - Programming Fundamentals I (transfers as CSCI 1470)
- COSC 1437 - Programming Fundamentals II (transfers as CSCI 1471)
- COSC 2436 - Programming Fundamentals III (transfers as CSCI 2315)

Foundations

Foundations courses provide the footing for the remainder of the Associates Degree and beyond. They provide the knowledge and skills upon which other courses will build. Whether attending full or part time, plan to complete most if not all of Foundations prior to taking courses under Knowledge Building or Preparing for Completion.
