Arts and Sciences

This program is designed for those students who have selected a major field of concentration and yet want more flexibility in course selection. The program is designed to meet transfer requirements for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree. It is suggested, however, that students seek advisement in course selection from the institutions to which they intend to transfer.

Students who have completed the program should be able to:

• Demonstrate application of theoretical concepts and fundamental principles utilized in the sciences, including use of the scientific method
• Conduct background research on scientific 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 scientific information effectively
• Operate basic laboratory equipment successfully
• Apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solving scientific research problems including utilizing statistics and graphical analyses
