Physical Science
The Physical Science Department is Madison College's home for the study of Physics, Astronomy and Earth Science. As part of the School of Arts and Sciences, we serve associate degree program students and those intending to transfer to the University of Wisconsin or other institutions. Our learners engage in scientific inquiry through theoretical and practical studies, developing a deeper understanding of the physical world.
- Physics
- The most fundamental of all the sciences, Physics is the precise description of the behavior of all matter and energy. Learners at Madison College explore (among many other concepts) Newton's Laws of Motion, the nature of electromagnetic fields, the behavior of light, and the fundamental structure of matter.
