Programs Number of General Electives in Physics Degree - Bachelor's Level

AI Thread Summary
Typically, a bachelor's degree in Physics requires a combination of general education and major-specific courses, with general electives varying by institution. In this case, 18 art credits are accepted for the Physics Transfer program, with an expectation that around 9 credits may transfer towards a bachelor's degree. The acceptance of these credits may also fulfill general education requirements, such as fine arts. The total number of general electives allowed will depend on the specific credit requirements set by the college for the degree. Understanding these requirements is crucial for planning the academic path effectively.

I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
