Courses

Physics 101  Conceptual Physics (3 units)

Conceptual Physics is a course appropriate for liberal studies majors, as well as for those interested in pursuing a science major in the future. The class explores the important ideas that underlie the way we view the world, but without the mathematical “speed bumps”. It is an opportunity to appreciate the elegance of our collective thinking about the patterns that surround us. Physics 101 and Physics 101L taken concurrently will satisfy the SBCC General Education Laboratory Science requirement. It is important to meet with a counselor or academic advisor to discuss the transfer requirements for your major.

 

Physics 106  General Physics (4 units)

Physics 111  Introductory Physics (5 units)

 

The course sequences of Physics 105/106 or Physics 110/111 both meet the UCSB Physics 6ABC requirement for Biological Science majors. In addition, Physics 110/111 satisfies the Physics 6ABC requirement at UCLA, as well as the Physics 8AB requirement at UC Berkeley for a calculus-based introductory physics course. Both satisfy the SBCC General Education Natural Sciences requirement, and the UC/CSU IGETC Physical Science requirement.  It is important to meet with a counselor or academic advisor to discuss the transfer requirements for your major.
