Bachelor of Science in
Science (SCICC):
The SCICC degree program provides a multi-disciplinary science education that
can lead to specialization in either in the Life Sciences or General Science and
also to the development of expertise in a wide variety of specialized foci.
After completing foundation courses in calculus, chemistry, physics, and the
life sciences, students will select additional courses that will give them a
focus in areas such as General Life Sciences, Environmental Life Sciences, Cell
and Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Chemistry, Applied Math,
Applied Physics, or General Science. Students can also choose from a variety of
non-science supporting courses that will give them additional background in such
areas as IST, Business, Communications, or Liberal Arts. The SCICC program
prepares students for a variety of careers in the sciences, as well as for entry
into graduate school and professional school. It also provides the necessary
broad scientific education which, when combined with specific electives,
produces graduates who are prime candidates for jobs in non-traditional
science-related areas, such as business, lab management, patent and intellectual
property law, IST, and liberal arts-related work (communications, publishing,
science writing, illustrations, etc.).
