OTIS, Program CoordinatorPHYSICAL SCIENCE COURSES(PHSC)100 Introduction to Physical Science (3)Emphasizes the relevance of physical science inunderstanding the everyday world, and explores connectionsbetween physics and chemistry. Topics include energy,electricity, magnetism, work, heat, light, the nucleus, theatom, chemical bonds, and chemical reactions. Intended fornon-science students. Offered each fall.101 Introduction to PhysicalScience Laboratory (1)An introductory physical science lab course toaccompany PHSC 100. Students have opportunities toexplore principles common to physics and chemistrythrough hands-on exercises. Designed for non-sciencestudents. Prerequisite or corequisite: PHSC 100. Offeredeach fall.PHYSICSDR. GARRY E. NOE, Program CoordinatorAlthough the college does not offer a physics major,certain physics courses are needed in our science programs.Physics can also serve as an enrichment course for interestedstudents.PHYSICS COURSES (PHYS)141 Intro Astronomy—Solar System (3) (E)Survey of the history of astronomy; the motion ofobjects in the night sky; gravitation and relativity;telescopes; the sun, planets, moon, meteors, and comets;the origin of the solar system; space exploration; the searchfor extraterrestrial life.

Lecture three hours, laboratorythree hours. Offered spring of odd-numbered years.POLITICAL SCIENCEDR. MURRELL L. BROOKSDR. WILLIAM A. GIBSON, Program CoordinatorDR. BRETT S. HEINDLDR. DAVID J. LORENZODR. TIMOTHY G. O’ROURKEMR. RENE PEREZ-LOPEZ, (adjunct)If Aristotle is correct when he observes that the end ofpolitics is the good for man, then we may appropriatelyconclude that the study of politics—no less than a completeliberal arts education—aims at a comprehensiveunderstanding of man and human communities. Thefollowing requirements for students in political scienceinclude five major categories which subdivide the disciplineand help to articulate its many facets.I. Introductory-Level Political ScienceII. Political PhilosophyIII. American Government and PoliticsIV. Comparative Politics and International RelationsV. Constitutional Law, Public Administration andPolicy
