Biology studies living organisms and fundamental life processes that form the basis for careers in healthcare, research, teaching and related fields. Begin studies toward a bachelor's degree in general or molecular biology, botany, ecology, fisheries, genetics, marine science, soil science, wildlife management or zoology.
Chemistry explores matter and the basic properties and processes that surround us. Prepare for advanced studies and to work in a laboratory, manufacturing, research, management, environmental services and related fields. Analysts and technicians assist scientists in general lab work or process control. Students can also specialize in chemistry education.
Begin studies toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. For the AS-T degree in Computer Science, various courses are offered such as calculus, physics, and computer science. A student can also take individual course in areas of interest to deepen knowledge and understanding.
Knowledge about the planet we inhabit, the surrounding universe and the natural forces that impact our world adds value to our daily lives and provides the basis for interesting careers in a broad range of disciplines: astronomy, earth sciences, geography, geology, meteorology and oceanography. Begin studies for an advanced degree leading to positions with government agencies or private industry as an independent consultant, teacher, or researcher.
Complete basic background studies for transfer to a bachelor's degree program in engineering disciplines, including aeronautical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, manufacturing and mechanical engineering. Careers may be found in research, development, design, operations management, teaching, sales and consulting.
Today's environmental problems call for people who are educated in more than one discipline, highly trained in scientific and technical skills, and aware of the ecological, political, economic, and social dimensions of environmental decisions. The Associate in Science-Transfer (AS-T) degree in Environmental Science provides a foundation in basic physical, biological, and social sciences, and also addresses the human element in environmental issues. This curriculum prepares students to transfer and complete a BS or BA in an Environmental Science field for subsequent graduate study in MS, PhD, and law degree programs and careers in government agencies or the private sector.
Strong analytical, mathematical and computer skills are a must.Physics is an excellent preparation for advanced study in astronomy and astrophysics, atmospheric science, biophysics, chemical physics, computer science and engineering. Students can complete the first two years of studies toward a bachelor's degree and can also specialize in physics education. Professional careers include research positions with government, universities and private industrial laboratories, observatories and science museums.
