The Health Science Associate in Science Degree is designed for students interested in establishing the groundwork for a health career and/or are planning to transfer to a four-year college. This program provides students who wish to enroll in a Nursing program with a solid foundation in the health sciences, including required mathematics, science, and liberal arts courses. Successful completion of this degree is not a guarantee of admission into a selective health program.
The following courses qualify for Laboratory Sciences: BIOL111W Biology, BIOL114W Human Anatomy and Physiology I, BIOL115W Human Anatomy and Physiology II, BIOL120W Human Biology, BIOL211W Microbiology, CHEM111W Chemistry.
NOTE: The Health Science Program requires a grade of C+ in BIOL114W, BIOL115W and BIOL211W (these courses must be completed within the past five years). Students must meet prerequisites for all courses. Online lab courses may qualify for general science elective credit, but do not satisfy the lab requirement for the Nursing program.
