Physics and Astronomy labs are safely offered in-person in the Walker Science Building
and the Chain Technology Building.
A one-semester lab that covers basic physics principles for non-science majors.
AST111L & AST112L, General Astronomy I & II Lab
A two-semester sequence that allows students to explore all that is outside of our planet with simple algebra.
PHY111L & PHY112L, General Physics I & II Lab
A two-semester sequence that covers the basic concepts of physics using algebra and trigonometry. This sequence is taken by many pre-professional students to prepare for the tests like the MCAT and LSAT.
