The School of Physical Sciences and Technologies offers courses
and programs in various branches of the physical sciences, including
astronomy, chemistry, geology, oceanography, physics, and the
modern technologies including electronics and laser-optics.
Instructional programs include lower-division courses for the
transfer student, introductory lecture/laboratory courses, the
geology field program, and technological training courses. Curriculum
throughout the school emphasizes the study of the natural universe
from the prospective of empirical science. The goal is to provide
students with an essential foundation which will allow them
to better appreciate and understand our world and the problems
of its management. The faculty of the school hopes to maximize
the opportunity for students to give abstract theories practical
application and personal relevance.
Faculty members in the physical sciences and technologies are
involved in the ongoing process of developing and articulating
their curriculum with input from local industries, area specialists,
and colleagues from surrounding colleges and universities. The
curriculum is designed to meet the educational needs of those
who are seeking immediate employment; those who are presently
working and need to keep current with dynamic, rapidly evolving
technologies and their equipment; and those who are planning
to transfer to a four-year college or university.
