Physics (PHYS)

Integral to many art and design fields is a solid knowledge of the physical world. Surveying the physical science disciplines of astronomy, chemistry, geology, meteorology and physics, students review fundamental theories and concepts and make direct applications to art and design disciplines. Through readings, observations and class activities, students may explore chemistry by developing film or geology and physics by manipulating materials.

This introductory level college physics course is geared toward a student studying a general education curriculum. It prepares students for future technology courses and covers select topics in the areas of mechanics, light, sound, thermodynamics and electricity.
