The Contra Costa College Physics and Astronomy Department offers the full spectrum of lower division (freshman/sophomore) physics courses along with one elementary astronomy course. Our general education courses, namely Descriptive Physics, Descriptive Physics Lab and Elementary Astronomy, satisfy general science requirements for both AA/AS and four year transfer schools and also serve as a stimulating course for any interested individuals in the community. Our two sequences for science and applied science majors are appropriate in rigor and content for transferability to four-year institutions. We promote high standards of evaluation, stay current with curricular materials and strive to create a highly supportive climate. Some possible careers: astronomer; biophysicist; chemist; civil, electrical, and mechanical engineer; geophysicist; geologist; medicine; physicist; research/lab assistant; science writer/editor; and seismologist.
