Physics is the science concerned with the discovery
and understanding of the fundamental laws which govern
matter, energy, space, and time and explaining them
using mathematics. Physics deals with the elementary
constituents of the universe and their interactions, as
well as the analysis of systems best understood in terms
of these fundamental principles.
Because physics treats the core workings of the
universe, including the quantum mechanical details which
underpin all atomic interactions, it may be thought of
as the foundational science, upon which stands the
"central science" of chemistry, and the earth sciences,
biological sciences, and social sciences. Discoveries in
basic physics have important ramifications for all of
science.

Classes offered this quarter
Designed to provide students with a broad liberal
arts background of study during their first and second
years of college with an emphasis on physical sciences.
The state's two-year and four-year schools developed
transfer agreements that allow students from a community
college to transfer at least 90 credits (60 semester
credits) to a four-year college or university. The
degrees satisfy some - or all - general requirements for
a bachelor's degree.
