General Science Program
Associate of Sciences & Certificates
Whether you are interested in human health, natural resources, fisheries and wildlife,
fieldwork, or laboratory work 鈥� 澳门极速彩is a great place to start! The General Science
program offers a number of unique opportunities for undergraduate students, including
hands-on training in the state of the art equipment, both in the field and in the
lab. Students are even offered the opportunity to work with equipment at other facilities
across the nation. All general science students complete a capstone project, which
allows students to spend time in their field of choice, conduct small-scale research,
and exemplify communication skills. Students are encouraged to participate in internship
programs, both on and off-campus, as well as attend and present at regional and national
conferences. This experience will help you in finding a job or gaining admittance
to the 4-year degree program of your choice. 
This curriculum is primarily designed for students who wish to transfer to another institution to pursue education beyond an associate degree. All students wishing to transfer should work closely with an advisor to determine course selection and should investigate the transferability of courses.
This program meets the Michigan Transfer Agreement requirements.
