Science
Does exploring the mysteries and vast frontiers of the
universe, its unknown origins, its potential life forms, and strange new worlds
interest you more than just watching it as a science fiction movie? Were you the
kid who thought that one day you might come up with a cure for cancer? Were you
the kid that built mighty bridges from LegosTM and Tinker ToysTM dreaming that
one day you would be designer of tomorrow’s gleaming sky scrapers? Were you
fascinated by the Jurassic Park movies? Were you the one that was always
wrapping your dog’s leg with bandages as you pretended to be that good ol’
country veterinarian? Students who major in science are individuals inspired to
understand why some aspect of the natural world functions the way it does and
who marvel at the complexity and simplicity of nature. The science degree at DCC
prepares students for careers requiring a firm foundation in mathematics and
basic science while ensuring that graduates have a firm understanding of
humanities and social science disciplines as well.
If your future career
plans include medicine, nursing, architecture, laboratory research, science
education, or environmental studies, then the science degree can be tailored to
help you achieve your goals.
