PROGRAMS OFFERED<br />
Courses Only - No Degree/Certificate<br />
Anatomy<br />
Biology<br />
Microbiology<br />
Physiology<br />
Students considering careers in health and medicine are required to take<br />
courses in the Biology/Anatomy discipline. Many health and allied health<br />
programs (e.g. Radiologic Technology, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, etc.)<br />
require Anatomy and Physiology. Some programs, Nursing for example,<br />
also require Microbiology. Students in non-health care related majors can<br />
also benefit from a grounding in these areas. For instance, the non-major’s<br />
Biology 3 course meets the IGETC (transfer) laboratory requirement. Additionally,<br />
understanding basic biological principles can help you live a<br />
healthier life and better understand diseases, medical treatments, and<br />
medical breakthroughs. All <strong>LACC</strong> Biology/Anatomy classes are UC and<br />
CSU transferable.<br />
