NCC now offers online physics courses "on-demand" - Physics 1 and Physics 2. These algebra-based, 4-credit classes include a lab-component and are the perfect physics prerequisites for students pursuing careers in medicine (MD), veterinary science (DVM), physical therapy (PT), physician assistant (PA), nursing (ASN, BSN), and other allied health fields. With monthly start dates on the 1st day of every month, there is no need to wait for traditional fall or spring semester starts. Progress through the course with high-quality recorded lectures, interactive labs, quizzes, and assignments at your speed with regular instructor check-ins and live-proctored exams to ensure engagement, accountability, and academic integrity. Finish in as little as 14 weeks, or faster if you're motivated. Upon successful completion, students can request their official transcript right away (always verify transferability with your target school first). Space is filling quickly so start today and keep your career on track and moving forward! No application required to register.
