Science & Math

Math and Science courses at EFSC support A.A. general education degree requirements as well as prerequisite courses a student is directed to complete before transferring with the A.A. to a university. Math and Science courses also support the A.S. degrees at EFSC, integrating the subjects to the applied side of technology or health sciences.

While Math and Science courses support multiple degree and certificate programs, below are a few program choices of interest for those who want to work in a scientific-related field or move on to further education in scientific or healthcare and medical related fields.

Associate in Science degrees allow graduates to move directly to careers in laboratories, landscaping or horticulture and also to move on to bachelor level programs.
