A grade of "C" or better is required in all prerequisite courses.
PHY 105 Conceptual Physics (Core) This course examines the basic concepts of mechanics, gravitation, vibrations, heat, electricity, magnetism, sound, light and some modern physics. This course satisfies the core requirements for an AA degree and includes a laboratory component.
PHY 111 College Physics I: Algebra-Based (Core) This course studies mechanics and heat and includes laboratory.
PHY 112 College Physics II: Algebra-Based (Core) This course enables students to learn about electricity and magnetism, light and modern physics. This course includes laboratory.
PHY 211 General Physics I: Calculus-Based (Core) This course examines the basic concepts of mechanics and heat. Students will learn several problem solving techniques used by physicists and engineers. This course satisfies the core requirements for an AS degree and includes a laboratory component.
PHY 212 General Physics II: Calculus-Based (Core) This course examines the basic concepts of waves, electricity, magnetism and light. Students learn several problem solving techniques used by physicists and engineers. A continuation of PH 211, this course satisfies the core requirements for an AS degree and includes a laboratory component.
