Physical Science

The physical sciences deal with the most fundamental principles in the physical universe: matter and energy. The program is built around a core curriculum of physics, chemistry and mathematics classes. This inter-disciplinary approach is designed to give the student an understanding of the basic laws and theories of the physical world, the ability to do quantitative problem solving, and laboratory and technical skills.

What will I study?

Four emphases are available to physical Science students: Physics, Chemistry, and Physical Science Education (High School Teaching).Upon completion of one of these concentrations, the student will be able to expressan understanding of the basic laws and theories of physics and chemistry, demonstrate an ability to do quantitative problem solving, demonstrate good laboratory technique, acquire several technical skills, apply scientific methodology to a research problem and integrate scientific knowledge and theories with the Christian faith.
