The Associate in Arts Degree in Physics prepares students for further study in physics or related physical science disciplines. It also provides a background in physics that includes skills appropriate for entry-level employment in science-related industries or laboratories. Coursework includes instruction in all of the main areas of classical physics (mechanics, waves, sound, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and optics), exposure to some of the more modern concepts of physics (including special relativity, atomic and nuclear physics), and prepares students to think critically and apply reasoning skills to analyze real world situations.
