*Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution are strongly encouraged to also take PHYS 1102 & PHYS 2126 because the lab will typically be required for a bachelor’s degree; however, PHYS 1102/PHYS 2126 are not required for an AS in Chemistry and will not be eligible for financial aid at Texarkana College.
