6 courses with the subject PHSC, 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.
PHSC 1100Physical Science : Various disciplines of the physical sciences are included in this course3.0
Emphasis on scientific method and reasoning. Topics from physics, chemistry, astronomy, and geology. (Mode of Delivery – Lecture and On-line). Prerequisite: MATH 0002 or MAT 002 or placement in Math or higher. (Natural Science General Education Course). Previously SPH 100
PHSC 1101Astrobiology I (I - Designation) : This course will explore the field of study known as3.0
astrobiology. Through a series of lectures, inquiry-based activities, and assigned projects, students will investigate the origin of life on earth and the search for life on other planets. Students will explore diverse concepts in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering. Research experiences and long- term, independent experiments will enable students to be active participants in the real processes of science research and discovery. Prerequisite: None. (Natural Science General Education Course). Previously SPH 101
PHSC 3311Physics I (non-calculus) : This is a one semester course designed to introduce the3.0
students to the theories and applications of mechanics, fluid, heat, oscillations, sound, and thermodynamics. The mathematical techniques that will be used in this course are algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Prerequisite: C or better in MATH 1111 or MAT 111 or higher math course; corequisite PHSC 3312. Previously SPH 311
PHSC 3312Physics I Laboratory (non-calculus) : is the hands-on laboratory component of part one1.0
