Physical Science
Physical science peers into the world of inorganic material, as opposed to biological sciences which study organic matter. Any field that focuses on inanimate matter and/or energy is a physical science. This includes physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology and other “hard sciences.” General physical science coursework typically involved all of these areas without an emphasis in any one of them. A degree in physical science explores a broad science curriculum that allows investigation of the interconnectedness of the hard sciences.
If you’re planning on studying physical science or a closely related field at a 4-year institution, you can start with us and:
- Take general coursework in geology, astronomy and physical science
- Earn an associate degree and prepare to transfer to a 4-year institution
- Complete your general education requirements
