General physics courses are offered as an enrichment to other curricular offerings in the sciences.
PHYS 210 and 220 are required courses in certain of the majors within the BS and BA degrees.
There is no major or minor available in physics.
Physical Science Courses (PHSC)
PHSC 050. Physical Science (3 hrs) This course is designed for the non-science major. The laws and theories which describe the nature of the physical universe will be examined through lectures and demonstrations. Basic scientific literacy is the ultimate goal of the course. Three lectures. Offered as needed.
Physics Courses (PHYS)
PHYS 210. General Physics I (5 hrs) The fundamental principles of classical mechanics and fluids. Three lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: MATH 070 or 100 (or equivalent). (LS)
PHYS 220. General Physics II (5 hrs) The fundamental principles waves, electricity, magnetism and light. Three lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: PHYS 210.
