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 />
