6 courses with the subject PHY, 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.
PHY 1005/1005L Concepts of Physics3
(NOT available to students who have received a grade of C or better in any PHY course) A topical study of physics at the introductory level with some applications to contemporary society. Concepts covered are selected from: history, methods, motion, energy, electricity and magnetism, light, the atom, the nucleus and some current areas of research in physics. Three lectures and one lab per week. A $200 laboratory fee required. Concurrent registration required in lecture and lab. orthwestern – St. Paul Undergraduate Catalog 2026-2027
