Program Learning Outcomes
For those students interested in a biology-oriented career (pre-med, environmental science, forestry, etc.) this program provides a concentrated study of the first two years toward a baccalaureate degree. Although science and math are stressed, humanities and social science electives aid in providing a broad educational experience. Students are advised to check the requirements of their anticipated vocation or bachelor's degree program at the college to which they intend to transfer.
Students who have completed the program should be able to:
- Demonstrate application of theoretical concepts and fundamental principles in the biological sciences, including use of the scientific method
- Conduct background research on life science topics to make educated conclusions and demonstrate ability to access and assess information including understanding of basic concepts, processes, and keywords necessary to explore topics
- Communicate with others in written and oral form and present life science information effectively
- Operate basic laboratory equipment successfully including microscopes, measurement devices, and computer technologies
- Apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solving biology-based problems including utilizing statistics and graphical analyses
Education Unique to Each Student
My experience at RCSJ has been very community oriented. My participation in the STEM club has been invaluable. I've also made other connections, like at Rowan University and Princeton University, offering one-of-a-kind research opportunities.
