Discover the secrets to the universe through Lee College's physics program, whether you are an aspiring scientist, engineer, or someone simply searching for an amazing science elective. In our physics courses, you will have the chance to learn about the everyday world around you as well as dive into the "impossible." Indeed, far more is possible than most people can imagine (such as invisibility or how you might time-travel without violating any known laws of physics, and much, much more).
For those who want to take an incredible journey toward becoming a physicist, we offer an Associate of Science degree as a foundation for a bachelor's degree at a four-year university. Students will gain an understanding of our universe, critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving appropriate for a profession in physics.
For those pursuing technical fields, we offer a wide range of courses in support of your studies.
For those who are simply searching for a general science elective, we offer courses in the physics of science fiction (TV shows, movies, etc.) as well as courses in astronomy. We also offer specialized courses for those in select majors, such as education.
Many careers require education beyond the associate degree. Students should work with their advisor to tailor course selections to align with their chosen transfer university. The transfer plan on this page shows an example of courses commonly transferred to universities. Students may choose to continue their education at any university.
You will learn the principles and applications of physics, such as mechanics, astronomy, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, light, and sound. You will also learn key concepts that apply to other STEM courses, such as chemistry, geology, and meteorology.
