Agent of Change
Science is great. And now there are many new discoveries that are changing the way humans interact with the world. Our incredible Sustainable Science specialization program puts you right in the center of this change.
This program focuses on the challenge of making fewer toxic and waste producing outcomes in the environment. To do that, you’ll study the relationships between science, technology, and the world.
Lab Time
As you can imagine, in the Sustainable Science program, you’ll take a lot of sciences and the labs that go with them. We’ll put you in biology, chemistry and ecology. The program itself lasts for four semesters (two years).
You’ll work with an RCC counselor in advance to set up your schedule, so that when you’re ready to transfer, along with the sciences, you will have taken the core classes as well, like English, math, history and others.
FAQs
