Faculty: Chad Ellington, Les Uhrich (FS); Marlene Ignacio (PY)
Degree: Associate of Arts (AA-DTA)
Associate of Science (AS-T)
The courses in physics are concerned with the laws and properties of matter and deal with the topics of mechanics, energy, sound, heat, light, electricity and magnetism. A major in Physics would serve as a basis for work in one of these areas in industry, government or teaching. The courses in physics find applications in many related areas, among them chemistry, biological sciences, engineering, geophysics, astronomy, oceanography, meteorology, Environmental sciences and mathematics.
