Courses in the 科学 浓度 prepare students for further study in biology, 生物技术, 生物信息学, 微生物学, 生物制造, 环境科学, 法医科学, 遗传咨询, 化学, 兽医科学, 以及医学预科. This program provides opportunities for students to explore a range of interests and apply scientific thinking in a wide variety of fields. 例如, a student interested in 法医科学 could take biology, 化学, 法医心理学, 统计数据, and an analytical writing course to prepare for further study in the field. 这个项目使学生能够 顺利 转移到 four-year degree programs to advance their knowledge and career opportunities.
探索
The AA in Liberal Arts-科学 浓度 provides students with opportunities to explore the sciences along with other academic fields that are inherently integrated with science. 学生 who are interested in transferring to BA/BS programs in biology or health science will be advised to take the traditional sequence of science and math courses complimented by study in the gamut of other liberal arts courses. 学生 who are interested in science but unsure of the specific sub-discipline in which they might want to work or pursue further study will work with an advisor to choose courses that allow them to explore their interests in the sciences as well as other areas in the liberal arts.
