Welcome to the Junior College Physics Department

Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. It is the most basic and fundamental science. Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles. Moreover, it’s the basis of many other sciences including chemistry. Physics also undergirds many new technologies. Cell phones, the Internet, and MRIs are only a few examples of the physics-based technological developments that have revolutionized our world. The study of physics prepares students for a broad spectrum of exciting careers. Many of our students pursue their study at university level with engineering, architecture, education and science courses being amongst the options available.

So, the study of physics is interesting, relevant, and it can prepare you for great jobs in a wide variety of places. No wonder it is such a popular choice!   In fact, the Physics Department is one of the largest departments at the Junior College.  Presently, the Department caters for about 1500 students.
