Physics

Today it is imperative that the college student add a new dimension to the beauty of his/her physical surroundings and acquire an understanding and appreciation of physical principles appropriate to well-informed members of society.

The physics program aims to meet the needs of those who wish to acquire a general knowledge of physics as part of their cultural development. It meets the needs of those who seek the pre- professional training in engineering, medicine, dentistry, medical technology and teaching; and it meets the needs of those students who plan a career in physics or scientific research. Most physics lab courses include a lab fee for supplies which is billed at the time of registration.
