Physics

Physics is that branch of science, which is involved in the study of matter, energy, force and motion and the inter-relationship of these aspects of nature. The field of Physics incorporates mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, and thermodynamics. Modern physics now includes several new areas of investigation, such as, quantum mechanics, relativity and nuclear physics. The study of physics requires a high level of aptitude and experience in mathematics.

Students interested in pursuing higher education in the field of physics should follow the prescribed curriculum below.

Engineering and Science Transfer Program Goals

Engineering and Science Transfer program will produce graduates who:

1. Are qualified to transfer to a 4-year engineering or science-based curriculum.
2. Are prepared to complete their Baccalaureate Degree in two additional years.
3. Have developed critical thinking skills.
4. Have developed mathematical methods of problem-solving.
5. Can communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.
6. Can conduct research from a variety of sources.
7. Are computer literate.

Notes:

1. Check curriculum of school you plan to attend to determine what this elective should be.

Upon the successful completion of requirements for this program, the degree of Associate in Science in Engineering and Science Transfer will be awarded.
