Science is the systematic study of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the application of predictive models. The interdisciplinary nature of science requires the student to have a broad exposure to biological sciences, chemistry, and physics in order to connect the concepts learned in a chosen discipline to the greater whole of science. This program can be tailored for the student considering a career in biology, chemistry, physics, other physical sciences, or health sciences including medicine, chiropractic, physical therapy, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, and pharmacy. The Science AS is designed to transfer to a four-year institution.
