Science

 

Purpose

The science program represents the first two years of an intensive pursuit of a four-year college or university degree in one of the many natural sciences. In this program, a student will have the opportunity to engage in the study of initial courses in mathematics and sciences which lead to the more advanced third and fourth year courses to be taken when the student transfers into the third year of a four-year college or university. Also, during the first two years, the student will complete humanities and social science requirements and electives, freeing up his or her final two years for intensive study in a science major.

 

Career Objectives

Students who transfer in this program may wish to major in one of the following fields:

 

Agriculture
Biology
Chemistry
Environmental Protection
Forestry
Geology
Mathematics
Nursing
Pharmacology
Physical Therapy
Physics
Pre-Dental
Pre-Medicine

 

Admission Requirements

In addition to admission requirements established by Dabney S. Lancaster Community College, satisfactory completion of specific high school units or their equivalent are required.  For more information, please refer to the Arts and Sciences home page, under "College Transfer Programs."
