Physics

Physics is an excellent choice for those intrigued by the fundamental principles of the universe and eager to tackle complex scientific challenges.

Our program offers a robust foundation in physics, with coursework designed to set you up for success if you’re planning to transfer to a four-year university.

With a focus on both theoretical and hands-on learning, you’ll gain valuable experience using advanced equipment and conducting experiments that make abstract concepts tangible.
