Advising Notes

PHY 201 and PHY 203 can be taken instead of PHY 101 or PHY 102 if students have taken MAT 251 and MAT 252.

Students looking to transfer to a related 4-year degree are encouraged to complete MAT 251 as a Liberal Arts Elective.

The recommended courses listed above are designed upon degree completion to enable a student to be eligible to transfer to a public Massachusetts state university or UMASS system institution (UMASS Amherst has a program related to this program) a STEM related field with junior status in their major. To determine best credit transfer options by field, seek advising from STEM advisors.

Courses are listed in the recommended order that you should take them.

Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course

If you intend to graduate with an associate degree in two years, you should enroll in at least 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.

Completing 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.

Taking classes in the winter intercession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.

All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.
