Program Description

Program is designed for students transferring to a 4-year school to complete their BS or BA degree in physics. It allows them to complete the first 2 years of the degree prior to transferring. Students explore advanced applied physics and calculus.    

The laws of physics govern everything in the universe from the tiniest bit of matter to the largest star.  

Physics is a prerequisite to any in-depth study of the sciences and technologies, and it leads to careers in variety of industries.
