Articulation

This program will fulfill MACRAO requirements if, in addition to the courses completed to meet General Education requirements, students complete one additional course in Social and Behavioral Science. Students must have their transcripts certified for MACRAO completion by the WCC Student Records Office.

Admissions Requirements

- Students must have an Academic Math Level of 7 to begin the math sequence. Two years of high school algebra and one year of high school pre-calculus are recommended to prepare for this program.
- The physics concentration requires one semester of high school physics or PHY 111 with a "C" or better to enroll in PHY 211.
- The biology, chemistry, and physics concentrations require one year of high school chemistry or CEM 090 with a "C" or better to enroll in CEM 111.

What Students Say About Online Classes

“Online classes allowed me to take more credits per semester while working part-time. Besides, what is better than attending school curled up on the couch and in your pajamas!”
