32 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.
PHYS 1030Conceptual Physics3
This course is designed to present aspects of conceptual physics of interest to students in music, communications, and other artistic and non-scientific disciplines. Students will gain the ability to understand and explain physics concepts of dance and movement, musical instruments and the human voice, light and color, and electronic devices related to music and sound. There is a one 2-hour lab each week employing the use of scientific instrumentation to demonstrate and measure the physical principles of the course. This course does not count toward the minor in physics.
