Get ready to transfer
Transfer students are strongly encouraged to contact the head advisor ([email protected]) before coming to OSU. We can discuss which classes need to be taken ahead of time at your college, which can be taken here, and how to transfer credits from a semester to a quarter system.
If your goal is to complete the physics major at OSU in two additional years, you'll want to make sure you take a year of introductory physics and plenty of math before you arrive.
PH 264, Intro to Computing, is a sophomore-level OSU course introducing fundamental statistics for physics and Python programming. It is often taken in the sophomore year. transfer students can take it the junior year, or they can take the equivalent course(s) before transferring.
Our curriculum page has more information about the courses in our major, include sample programs for both a B.S. and a B.A. for transfer students.
