10 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 151Fundamentals of Physics I3
Introduction to the fundamental concepts of laws and mechanics. This is the first course in an algebra-based sequence. Topics include motion, Newton’s Laws, gravity, conservation of energy and momentum, collisions, circular and harmonic motion, and waves.
An algebra-based exploration of the experimental techniques of classical physics, with applications to electricity, magnetism, sound, and optics. Three hours of laboratory per week. Additional Fee(s): Lab/Materials fee
Introduction to the concepts, laws, and structure of physics. The second course in a calculus-based physics sequence. Topics include thermodynamics, fluids, electricity, CHATHAM UNIVERSITY CATALOG: 2026-2027 412
Experimental techniques of classical mechanical physics. Three hours of laboratory per week. Additional Fee(s): Lab/Materials fee. Co-rerequisite: PHY251
The integrative capstone, undertaken by the student during the senior year, is an extended project that helps the student complete their transition from an undergraduate student to a world-ready professional. The study usually centers on the student’s major and may be conducted, at least in part, in the context of a group experience. Such programs are crafted to meet the unique needs of each major, and could include, for example, fieldwork, theater production, creative work in the arts, independent research, or independent readings. The integrative capstone in an interdisciplinary major must have the approval of both academic programs.
