Physics

Full-time or part-time Most courses start September or January Fees: $3,530 (one year of science courses) Individual university classes Prince George campus; individual courses offered in Quesnel Careers If you like mathematics and science, a physics career offers many opportunities. A course in physics can be the beginning of a career in science or an important building block for another profession. Physics is the most fundamental natural science, and physicists want to really understand how the world works, in every detail and at the deepest level. This includes everything from elementary particles to the universe itself, and everything in between. Admission Youll need one of the following: Successful completion of Grade 12 (with English 12 or English 12: First Peoples) ABE/CCP Advanced Certicate GED Certicate Completion of Grade 11 with an outstanding academic record in the year of application. Tips for your successful application To ensure you select the most appropriate high school courses for your chosen career path, we strongly recommend that you consult a high school counsellor. Youll need to comply with the prerequisites of the specic CNC courses you select (see course listings at the back of this calendar). The GED certicate meets CNCs general admission requirements, but does not meet specic program or course prerequisites. Students applying for admission to Math 101, CSC 109, PHYS 101, or CHEM 111 who obtained a C+ grade or less in Principles of Math 12 (interim grade) or Math 050 will be registered in Math 100. Note 1: Students attending in 2013 who intend to enrol in MATH 101, CSC 109, PHYS 101 or CHEM 111 and who obtained a C+ or less in Pre-calculus 12 (interim grade) or Math 050 will be registered in MATH 100. What will you study?
