The main branches of classical physics include:
Classical Mechanics
Electromagnetism
Classical Optics
Thermodynamics
Fluid mechanics
In modern physics, there are a lot of different fields of study including:
The Special Theory of Relativity
The General Theory of Relativity
Quantum Mechanics.
Nuclear Particle Physics
Solid state physics, incuding semiconductors.
Statistical thermodynamics
Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)
In Modern Physics, optics and electricity & magnetism have been unified, especially through the use of Special Relativity.
[Three of the most important fields of Modern Physics had been left out. I have put them first , second, and third on the list. By definition, these are Modern Physics because they are products of the 20th century.
Also, some very important parts of Classical Physics had been left out, such as fluid mechanics.]
There are 2 subdivisions of physics, classical physics and modern physics. Classical physicals is mainly concerned with matter and energy on the normal scale of observation, while modern physics deals behavior of matter and energy under extreme conditions.
Both classical physics and modern physics are based on mathematical models to describe natural phenomena. They both rely on experimental data to validate their theories and make predictions about the universe. However, modern physics expands on classical physics by incorporating concepts like relativity and quantum mechanics to explain phenomena at the macroscopic and microscopic levels.
Classical mechanics is important because it provides the foundation for understanding the motion of objects and the underlying principles that govern their behavior. It allows us to predict how objects will move under various conditions, which is crucial for fields such as engineering and physics. Classical mechanics also forms the basis for more advanced branches of physics, such as quantum mechanics and relativity.
Traditional physics are more commonly called "Classical Physics" and it was created by the old giants of physicists like Newton and Galileo.Modern physics are the newer study of physics that was created by folk like Einstein and Schrodinger.The main difference is that classical physics deals in things that are relatively and easily handled by human size in terms of observation, forces and speeds. Things like the motion of baseballs, cars and planets.Modern physics deal in things that are small or fast. Time dilation due to traveling near the speed of light falls under modern physics as does the world of subatomic particles. The nature of electromagnetic radiation roughly follows the same wave math involved in classical physics, however, things get deeper when we begin to discuss the wave-particle duality of matter and light so it is more modern physics.
"Modern Physics" is a heading commonly used to introduce the studies of light and Quantum Physics, the Correspondence Principle, the Uncertainly Principle, Waves and Particles, Wave Mechanics and the Schrödinger Probability equation, nuclear physics, and Relativity.

Classical theories in physics usually refer to those theories that have predictability or determinancy. The theories don't embody the uncertainty principle that quantum mechanics has. And so, the only branch I can think of right now is only General Relativity.
Classical physics are the theories of physics came before the modern times and which are not widely excepted. Examples of such physics are Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, Newtonian mechanics, and thermodynamics.

Classical physics refers to the branch of Physics whereby energy and matter are two very different concepts. It is usually based on the theory of electromagnetic radiation and the laws of motion.
Mechanics is a branch of science that deals with the behavior of physical bodies under force or displacement.
Not quite sure the question, but maybe "Physics" is what you're looking for? Astronomy is often considered an off-shoot of Physics and classes may only be offered through the Physics department if an Astronomy department does not exist.
Modern physics. More specifically, the Theory of Relativity.
"Modern Physics" is a heading commonly used to introduce the studies of light and Quantum Physics, the Correspondence Principle, the Uncertainly Principle, Waves and Particles, Wave Mechanics and the Schrödinger Probability equation, nuclear physics, and Relativity.
