Physics and Astronomy

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers two laboratory science, two-semester sequences in physics. One, Physics 141-142, is suitable for pre-med students and majors in other sciences; the other, calculus-based Physics 151-152 is appropriate for majors in physics, mathematics, computer science and chemistry, also for students who are pre-engineering.

The Department offers a one-semester survey course in astronomy at least once each academic year. The lectures are visually-oriented and the laboratory incorporates both planetarium computer simulations and first-hand viewing, as often as weather permits. The Oxhouse estate near the campus is the primary viewing site.
