This program is designed to provide you with a strong foundation in the area of Physics, and an exploration of the laws of nature that govern our daily world. The applications of physics are extensive, including applications in medical technology, pre-medicine, physical therapy, biology, and all engineering technologies. Physics is the pathway to all modern technology. You will look at the physics of the human body, including blood flow, blood pressure, bone strength,  and the function of the human eye. You will also study contemporary issues such as global warming, energy requirements, and atmosphere phenomena, among others. Understanding the basic laws of physics can make you a  better informed citizen. Upon completion of this Transfer Ticket Physics degree program, you will be able to transfer seamlessly to colleges within the Connecticut College State University system, being guaranteed full junior status in your pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in the same discipline, without losing any credits or being required to take extra credits upon transfer.
