PHYSICS
An Associate of Science Degree in Physics allows you to concentrate in a specific area of science or mathematics which closely corresponds with bachelor's degrees, prepares you for paraprofessional work and enables you to develop skills at an entry level. This degree will also allow you to pursue challenging careers in fields such as education, health services, engineering, communications, astronomy, oceanography and many more.
