Associate of Science degree (A.S.)- Physics Option

The physics option is designed to give students who have the desire and drive to explore the universe, the background that four-year colleges require for their own undergraduate preparation. Physics is the study of all physical phenomena and utilizes skills such as mathematics, analysis, software, and clear communications. It explores questions, such as “How did the universe start?” “How will it end?” “What is a black hole?” and “Is time travel possible?” Physicists can be found in many fields including research and development, aerospace and defense, design and production, medical physics, astronomy and astrophysics, geophysics, meteorology, and education.
