In summary: It's an AS degree (associates in science), but it's a degree program that allows you to transfer to a 4-year school afterwards. Does the community college offer physics courses? The one I'm attending doesn't have a physics major either, but it does offer physics courses.

Hi,
My name is Pete & I work full-time. So, at least until the point of a bachelors degree, I would like to take online courses as a physics major. So far I have not found a decent online physics provider. To reiterate...help!

I don't think there is such a thing. Physics and chemistry courses require lab work.

I figured that, unfortunately the closest college with a lab is 2+ hrs away, which is why I was hoping for the best on this saving grace.

Do you have any community colleges nearby? You could enroll in a science transfer degree.

What is a science transfer degree? The only community college nearby doesn't have a physics major. I think the only sciences they have are biology & chemistry.

You can always try open university. They offer a physics degree.

I don't know in what way such a degree is viewed by employers or grad school.

I think getting an associates online might be better to buy myself some time to move closer to a college or university to finish the job. Thanks!

I didn't look that far into it honestly so I'll definitely have to go visit them & see. I know they are connected to a university that is much further up-state. Hopefully that will be the ticket. Thank you!

How long does it take to complete an online physics BS program?

The length of an online physics BS program can vary depending on the university and the student's pace of study. On average, it takes four years to complete a traditional on-campus physics BS program, and online programs may follow a similar timeline. However, some online programs offer accelerated tracks or allow students to take courses at their own pace, which can affect the completion time.

Is an online physics BS degree as reputable as a traditional on-campus degree?

Yes, an online physics BS degree is just as reputable as a traditional on-campus degree. As long as the program is accredited by a recognized accrediting agency, the degree is considered to hold the same value and credibility as a degree earned on campus. Employers and graduate schools generally do not differentiate between online and on-campus degrees.

What career opportunities are available with an online physics BS degree?

An online physics BS degree can open up various career opportunities in fields such as research, engineering, education, and technology. Graduates may work as physicists, engineers, data analysts, science educators, or pursue further studies in graduate school. The critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills gained through this degree can be applied to a wide range of industries and professions.
