Notes:

1. For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements. 
2. This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics).  Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.  

• No grade of "D" is acceptable in CHM, MTH or PHY courses

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of physics and the ability to apply these principles to problems of both fundamental and practical interest;
• Design and conduct experiments, and use the scientific method to analyze a problem and draw conclusions from data and observations;
• Apply critical thinking skills and ability to identify, formulate, and solve technical problems.
