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.
talog (2025-2026) Catalog Description: Explores the physical world and its impact on human life, including the basic principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, waves, optics, and atomic physics. Recommended for students pursuing nontechnical majors. Two class hours and two laboratory hours. Prerequisite: Basic arithmetic skills equivalent to MAT091.
Catalog Description: An algebra/trigonometry based introduction to physics for career or transfer students with majors somewhat, but not closely, related to physics.
