What College of the Desert says about their program:
"Courses in physical science aim to engage students with subjects such as astronomy, chemistry, geology, and physics, that study the structure and function of non-living systems. Studying these systems, students will use the scientific method to investigate materials ranging from subatomic particles to the vast scale of the Earth, solar system, dark matter and energy within our universe.
Students who choose not to major in physical sciences find that coursework in the field can improve their ability to solve complex problems using critical thinking and to perform research and analysis. Satisfy your curiosity of the physical sciences and initiate your development of knowledge to improve our quality of life.
Most careers in this discipline require an undergraduate or graduate-level degree. However, minimum qualifications for some entry-level positions require an associate degree. Career paths chosen by students pursuing undergraduate studies in physical sciences commonly include, but are not limited to, laboratory and/or field technician positions with an emphasis in astronomy, chemistry, engineering, environmental science, geology, and physics.
College of the Desert’s physical science curriculum includes course offerings that provide a general overview of the disciplines for students seeking to satisfy general education requirements, a bachelor’s degree in a nursing program, or students planning to become educators at elementary and secondary schools. Additionally, coursework is offered for students majoring in science or engineering and intending to transfer to a four-year program in their chosen discipline."
