Science is: "knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method" (Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/science). There are many different fields of science, and as our world continues to evolve, so too does our understanding of it. ATCC offers courses in a few broad scientific fields, as well as a Biology Transfer Pathway Associate of Science (AS) degree program.
This guide includes resources relevant to students taking Biology, Chemistry, and Physics courses, as well as those enrolled in ATCC's Biology Transfer Pathway area of study.
