Science Department
Our goal is to offer diversified science courses that are relevant
and provide students the knowledge and experience to pursue further
studies in the sciences or simply participate in a modern society
dominated by science and technology. Our emphasis is on an understanding
of modern scientific methodologies, including current methods of
scientific experimentation, as well as up-to-date laboratory techniques
and equipment. A particular effort is made to offer transferable courses
for the various vocational programs at SCC and to science programs of
the regional academic institutions throughout the Northwest.

The Science
Department at SCC seeks to encourage an attitude of discovery and
critical analysis along with a genuine interest in the sciences. We
strive to offer a wide variety of introductory and second-year college
science courses that not only challenge students' traditional views of
science, but build the scientific skills that create a sound foundation which students will
use when viewing the world around them.

Take the Right Science Class to
Meet Your Needs
Take BIOL& 160 IF you you are in a program that requires any of the following classes:
- BIOL& 241: Human A&P 1
- BIOL& 242: Human A&P 2
- BIOL 233: Genetics
- BOT 111: Botany: Plant Structure and Function
- BOT 112: Botany: Survey of the Plant Kingdom
- BIOL& 260: Microbiology
- ZOOL 121: Invertebrate Zoology
- ZOOL 122: Vertebrate Zoology
BIOL& 160 is a time-intensive, rigorous course intended mostly for students in the health sciences or sciences.
If you simply need a five-credit lab science course to fulfill the A.A. degree requirements, you can choose from
the following:
- BIOL 100: Environmental Biology
- CHEM 115: Environmental Chemistry
- CHEM& 110: Chemical Concepts w/Lab
- GEOL& 101: Intro. Physical Geology
- GEOL 201: The Earth Through Time
- GEOL 210: Pacific Northwest Geology
- PHYS 100: Introductory Physics
These courses are more student-friendly and contain curriculum that is
more relevant to students' everyday lives.
