The Biology and Chemistry programs at CCM each reflect these expanding areas of sciences and their related technologies. Students planning to transfer to baccalaureate programs or professional schools take courses that either parallel those required in the first two years of most baccalaureate programs or those required for entry into the most popular professional programs. Because of the complexity of career options and the diversity in requirements of baccalaureate and professional schools, students are required to work closely with their academic advisors.
