The program's four-year curriculum focuses on fundamental sciences like mathematics, chemistry, and physics during the first two years (at PSC), while the last two years (at a university) emphasize advanced coursework in mathematics and science.
By studying these principles, students develop the ability to make informed decisions
about medical, environmental, and technological issues. PSC offers courses that align
with the first two years of the curriculum and awards successful students an Associate
in Science degree upon completion.
This program provides a solid educational pathway for aspiring physicists and astronomers to pursue further studies or enter the workforce with a comprehensive understanding of fundamental scientific principles.
