Programs Associates degree to physics bachelor?

AI Thread Summary
Finishing high school with an Associate's degree through dual enrollment can significantly impact the timeline for obtaining a Bachelor's degree in physics. The duration to complete the Bachelor's degree typically depends on the specific courses taken during the Associate's program. Key courses that influence this timeline include a three-semester calculus sequence, ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, a 3-4 semester introductory physics sequence, and potentially 1-2 semesters of chemistry. Depending on the completion of these foundational courses, it may take around two years or more to achieve a Bachelor's degree in physics.

Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
