6 courses with the subject PHYS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Surveys the major areas of astronomy including planets, the Sun, the Moon, stars, galaxies, cosmology, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Course includes lab-like learning activities. Note that this course by itself will not meet the lab science requirement. Students are encouraged to register for
Explores astronomy concepts using simulations and observations. This is an optional lab course that students can take to enhance their understanding of concepts presented in
Explores topics in motion, heat, sound, electricity, magnetism, light, and nuclear physics. PHYS 1030 emphasizes concepts, basic laws, and applications of physics. For students with no physics background who do not plan to concentrate their study in science. PHYS 1030 assumes only a basic understanding of math.
