The Associate of Science Degree (AS) in Biomedical Degree is intended for majors who would like to go transfer to obtain a four-year degree in biomedical, biotechnology, or any pre-veterinary, pre-dental, or pre-medical or biological research programs. Degrees in the biomedical field will be important with the expansion of current and new careers in the healthcare system, biotechnology, and bioengineering fields.
- Students will demonstrate a basic knowledge of the sciences and apply them to an understanding of general human physiology
- Students will be able to critically analyze experimental data and apply it to scientific anatomical and physiological concepts
- Students will gain an understanding of how human anatomy and physiology are dependent and that structure dictates function
- Students will gain an understanding of how the human body uses a combination of biological, chemical and physical laws to function properly
