- Audition/Portfolio: Not applicable
Notes:
- Upon transfer, students must declare a major in Physics. Students pursuing the B.A. in Physics must choose either a Physics Option or an Applied Physics Option. Transfer students should consult with the major advisor in the Queens College Physics Department ([email protected]) prior to enrolling in classes at Queens College.
- All transfer courses credited toward the Physics major must be completed with a grade of C- or better.
- When the receiving college awards transfer credit for either a block of courses or for an entire program rather than for individual courses, it may not be necessary to list individual course equivalencies.
- Queens College requires 6-7 credits of additional Pathways classes as part of the College Option, which includes a literature and a language requirement, as well as two Writing Intensive (W) units, with a minimum of one in residency. Writing Units may overlap with other requirements. According to the specifics in this agreement, students will complete a minimum of 60 credits at each institution; however, students who transfer into Queens with more than 60 credits must complete at least 45 credits at Queens College to earn a Queens College degree.
Additional Notes: All students must successfully complete two (2) writing-intensive classes (designated "WI") at Queensborough Community College to fulfill degree requirements.
