Physics
| ESC 2000 – Earth Science | Credit 1 |
|---|
| This course is designed to provide the student with an introductory foundation of knowledge in the terms, concepts and methods of study of the earth sciences. The emphasis will be on the earth sciences (meteorology, geology, oceanography and astronomy) as they impact the human individual, and the society of man. The level of this course will be such as to provide a foundation for elementary school instruction in these sciences. |
| PHY 1020C – Fundamentals of Physics/Lab | Credit 4 |
|---|
| Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra |
| A course for non-science majors which surveys basic physics principles with application to current scientific and technological advances. Social, economic, ethical and political implications will be discussed. Topics include motion, heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism and relativity. Fee: refer to catalog section Fees and Financial Aid. |
| PHY 1053C – General Physics I/Lab | Credit 4 |
|---|
| Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra and high school trigonometry. |
| An introductory physics course for science related fields and not intended for physics or engineering majors. The course is designed to provide knowledge of the basic principles of physics, by emphasizing life science applications.

| PSC 1121C – Conceptual Physical Science/Lab | Credit 4 |
|---|
| Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra |
| A general science course designed to introduce the basic principles from each of the five major areas of the physical sciences: Physics, Chemistry, Meteorology, Geology and Astronomy. This course will investigate motion, energy, heat, electricity, magnetism, the nucleus of the atom, the periodic table, chemical reactions, the atmosphere and hydrosphere, the rock cycle, the solar system and the galaxies. The emphasis will be on the scientific method and its application to real world problems. |
