A.S. STEM Pathway

Why STEM Pathway?

The STEM pathway prepares students for programs that allow graduates to undertake professional careers that require a solid foundation in math and science. These programs are generally technically rigorous and designed for students with a strong interest in training beyond the bachelor's degree. This may include such fields as Engineering, Physical or Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, medicine or other science fields. In these fields graduates often work in complex teams on crucial issues and often assume leadership positions which rely on effective communication and problems solving in addition to expertise in their field. As undergraduate degree and professional program admissions requirements vary, students should work closely with their academic advisor to select courses. Students should consult the catalog of the institution to which they expect to transfer and select appropriate courses in consultation with their advisor.
