6 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 1030^Survey of Physics4

This is an introductory study of selected topics in physics including mechanics of linear and curvilinear motion, energy gravitation, vibrations and waves, sound electricity, magnetism and some atomic and nuclear physics. Note the preceding introductory discussion concerning course credits. Credit in only one of the following courses can be used toward graduation or general education core requirements: PHYS 1030, PHYS 2010 , PHYS 2110 . Semester Availability: (Subject to Change) Fall, Spring, Summer
