Map for Transfer: CSN AS Associate of Science to UNLV BS Physics - Computational Major

About this Academic Map

This academic map should be used by CSN students who are completing the Associate of Science, AS at CSN and plan to transfer to UNLV to complete a BS Physics-Computational Major upon graduating from CSN.
This 60-credit map, designed for students without transfer credits, represents the optimal pathway to completing this degree.
- Please note: UNLV requires completion of MATH 181 which is 4 credits, but the minimum needed for GE Mathematics on the CSN AS Associate of Science is 3 credits. The additional credit of MATH 181 may count toward completion of the Major Requirement Electives area.
