How can I find out if a course I want to take at the community college is equivalent to a course at one of the state colleges?
The Course Applicability System (CAS) can be used to determine the equivalency between community college courses and courses at all three of the state universities. The CAS URL is az.transfer.org/cas/students/index.html. You will want to access the Course Equivalency Guide in the Quick Links box on the left hand side. This will bring you to a page where you can select a community college (or university) and then a prefix and find equivalencies for courses with the selected prefix. If you want a more specific search, you can select Search All CEGs at the bottom of the page. You can also set up a personal account on the CAS system that will let you track your own program of study and how your community college courses transfer to any of the state universities.
I want to start at MCC but don't know how to get started. Who should I contact to get more information about building a program of study for physics and astronomy?
Contact the Physical Science Department at (480) 461-7015, contact physics and astronomy faculty members Barron Arenson at (480) 461-7016, John Griffith at (480) 654-7794, Kevin Healy at (480) 461-7027, Mangala Joshua at (480) 461-7053, Mark Somers at (480) 461-7005 or Heidi Van Tassell at (480) 461-7008 or contact MCC Academic Advisement at (480) 461-7222 or click here.
What if I don't want to attend NAU, ASU, or UofA? Will universities in other states accept the courses I take at MCC?
Over the past 40 years, MCC has had many students complete engineering degrees at universities outside the state of Arizona. If you plan to attend a university other than ASU, UofA, or NAU be sure to meet with an advisor or an engineering faculty member to discuss how best to develop a program of study for the university you are interested in attending.
Can I Take a Physics or astronomy course at other colleges in the Maricopa Community College District?
Yes, you can take any of the physics and astronomy courses offered at MCC at any of the other community colleges in the Maricopa Community College District (MCCD). MCC has the largest offering of courses in MCCD but all of the courses offered by colleges in MCCD transfer the same regardless of where you take them.
None of these questions address the questions that I have. How can I get my specific question answered?
Contact the Physical Science Department at (480) 461-7015, contact physics and astronomy faculty members Melissa Bunte at (480) 461-7881, Owen Dix at (480) 461-7016, John Griffith at (480) 654-7794, Kevin Healy at (480) 461-7027, Mangala Joshua at (480) 461-7053, Mark Somers at (480) 461-7005 or Heidi Van Tassell at (480) 461-7008.
