Physics and Astronomy
PCC's Physics and Astronomy courses provide a foundation for continued study at the upper division level in a physics, physical science, math, engineering or computer science major.
Our Physics and Astronomy courses cover a range of topics including practical and dynamical astronomy, astrophysics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, modern physics, and more. Take courses to fulfill a general education requirement, or complete the AS-T Degree in Physics, and be prepared to transfer and pursue a four-year degree in physics or another related field.

转移 Options
All Astronomy & Physics classes at PCC carry transfer credit CSUs. Many can also be transferred to a UC or other four-year university. Several courses also fulfill general education requirements. For more information, please visit the 转移 Center's "What Courses Will 转移" resource page
物理| Associate in Science for 转移 (AS-T) Degree
Earn a degree AND prepare to transfer. By completing the AS-T in Physics, you will finish the general education requirements as well as the lower division major requirements for a BS degree in Physics prior to transferring to a CSU.
Carnegie@PCC
Carnegie @ PCC features a series of public lectures on current astronomical topics. These lectures are given by astronomers from the Carnegie Observatories.
