Associate of Science - Physics

Program Description

The study of physics is both the most basic and farthest reaching branch of science. Physicists are analytical problem-solvers who use chemistry, astronomy, and algebra, and try to understand the world, from the smallest atomic particle to the farthest ends of the universe.

The ability to think analytically is a great asset in a wide range of fields, including industrial and government labs, college campuses, the astronaut corps, and consulting on TV shows. In addition, many physics grads work at newspapers and magazines, in government, and even on Wall Street - places where their ability to think analytically is a great asset.

TCC offers courses that cover the first 2 years of a typical 4-year college physics program (college-level courses) as well as courses to develop skills needed for college-level courses.
