What the college says

Physics (from the Greek, φυσικός (phusikos), "natural", and φύσις (phusis) "nature", is the science of nature in the broadest sense. Also known as natural philosophy, physics involves the study of matter and energy, ranging from the sub-atomic particles through to the universe as a whole. Physics is a course for students interested in understanding how things work and why they are as they are; who have wondered why the sky is blue, how the universe is evolving, and what are the fundamental forces and particles of nature, making up all things. Within Physics students learn to apply knowledge and understanding of the world around them to a whole variety of situations, extending their capacity to problem solve and to think in a logical manner as they do so. These skills can then be applied to other subjects as well as to life in general.
