Physics covers the major physical concepts of motion, forces, and energy while emphasizing mathematical problem

solving skills. Physics integrates lecture, lab, and problem solving exercises. Because of the emphasis on logical

problem solving, Physics is a recommended course for students planning a career in any technical field. Students are

required to take one additional lab-based science course for a total of 3 credits. Students planning to pursue a four-year

college program following high school are strongly encouraged to include Chemistry and Physics during their high school

coursework.
