This is an introductory course primarily for non-science majors and students lacking high school physics and chemistry. The course includes principles of chemistry and physics. A non-algebra approach is used to study mechanics, heat, atomic structure, chemical combinations, electricity, and fundamentals of earth science.

Co-requisite: PHSX 106
Course Fee: $10.00
Meets MSU-Northern General Education Core Natural Sciences (CAT III) requirement.
