About this course

Understanding Physics I for your Nexford credit.

What is Physics I?

Physics I is an introduction to the basic laws that describe how objects move and interact. It covers measurement, vectors, motion, forces, work, and energy, so you learn how to use math to explain everyday physical situations such as a falling object, a car speeding up, or a ball thrown through the air.

How the course teaches you

Physics I (Physics 200) is a 3-credit course with video-based instruction, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam weighted 20% Quizzes, 30% Assignments, and 50% Final Exam. The course builds from measurement and vectors into motion, forces, work, and energy, so you can connect the material to problems like a falling object or a thrown ball. When you finish, the transcript credit can be reviewed by Nexford University as a Natural and Physical Science Elective.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The course develops problem-solving skills in measurement, motion, forces, and energy, which are useful in everyday decisions as well as in technical and business settings. At Nexford, the credit can fit as a Natural and Physical Science Elective within programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or the Bachelor of Business Administration, helping you use one course toward a general-education requirement. That can make degree planning more efficient when you are working within Nexford’s transfer limits.

Skills you walk away with

Use units and conversions accuratelyWork with vectors in physics problemsCalculate displacement, velocity, and accelerationAnalyze motion in one, two, and three dimensionsApply Newton’s laws to force-and-motion situationsSolve work, kinetic energy, and power problemsInterpret data and basic experimental results

Taking this course toward Nexford

After you complete Physics I, the transcript is sent for review and Nexford University applies it according to its transfer evaluation process. At Nexford, the course is recognized as a Natural and Physical Science Elective, which means it can satisfy a general-education requirement rather than sit as an extra elective with no degree-plan value. That matters when you are building a degree at Nexford, including options like the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, because it can move you closer to completion within the 90-credit transfer ceiling. Nexford is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation before you commit.

Who this course is for

This course is a good fit if you want a science-based general-education credit that Nexford may apply as a Natural and Physical Science Elective. It is especially relevant if you are planning around Nexford’s rule that up to 90 credits, or 75% of an undergraduate program, may transfer. It is not the best choice if you are looking for an advanced physics course, since this is an introductory class focused on transfer-ready general education.
