SUMMER 2020:
Please note that the Department of Physics and Astronomy will be offering all 200-level PHYS lectures and labs in an online format in Summer 2020. However, they are not self-paced. All courses will take place in six-week sessions. Students will be expected to be available to meet with their instructors at the designated days and times listed for the courses in Self-Service Carolina.
The following courses will be offered in Summer 2020:
First 6-Week Summer Session (May 11, 2020 to June 18, 2020):
- PHYS 201 (General Physics I)
- PHYS 201L (General Physics I Laboratory)
- PHYS 211 (Essentials of Physics I)
- PHYS 211L (Essentials of Physics I Laboratory)
Second 6-Week Summer Session (June 22, 2020 to July 30, 2020):
- PHYS 202 (General Physics II)
- PHYS 202L (General Physics II Laboratory)
- PHYS 212 (Essentials of Physics II)
- PHYS 212L (Essentials of Physics II Laboratory)
All course details can be found in the "Look Up Courses" section of Self-Service Carolina for your reference.
