Physical Science
Explore natural phenomena of the Earth through Physical Science.
Because In Science, Matter Matters
Coastline College courses in astronomy, chemistry, geology, and physics for students who are interested in careers ranging from Astronomy to Zoology. We currently offer an ADT degree in Physics, and ADT programs in Chemistry and Geology are on the way.
Our goal is to help you to succeed, whether you are a STEM major who needs calculus-based physics, a nursing major who needs Chemistry with a "wet-lab," or any student who needs a science course to graduate.
The Physical Science Department offers online, hybrid, and onsite courses that are designed to meet your needs. Most of our onsite courses are offered at the Newport Beach Campus overlooking the Pacific.
Available Programs
Geology
Geologists work in the following areas: environmental protection, environmental remediation, water management, oil and gas, seismic hazard assessment, surveying, volcanic hazard assessment, geotechnical engineering, and mining.
Physics
Physics is an attempt to understand natural phenomena and is fundamental to related fields such as astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology and engineering.
