DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS & PHYSICAL SCIENCES

We provide a solid general education component for all RSU students. The curriculum in the physical sciences helps students prepare for a baccalaureate-granting program.

We offer programs of study to students presently in the workforce, allowing them the opportunity to continue their education

The Associate of Science in Physical Science consists of general education curriculum and discipline-specific courses allowing emphasis in three options in:
