Degree Options
Liberal Arts - Mathematics & Science (A.A.) (non transfer option)
Courses emphasize the natural sciences which examine the physical universe, its life forms and its natural phenomena. Courses in mathematics emphasize the development of mathematical and quantitative reasoning skills beyond the level of intermediate algebra. Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the methodologies of science as investigative tools. Students will also examine the influence that the acquisition of scientific knowledge has on the development of the world’s civilizations.
The graduate of the AA program liberal arts (non transfer) - mathematics & sciences will:
- Demonstrate an ability to think logically and criticaly in solving problems; explalining conclusions; and evaluating, supporting or critiquing the thinking of others.
- Students will develop the set of logical thought, clear and precise expression, and require critical evaluation of communication in whatever symbol system the student uses.
- Understand the facts and principles that form the foundations of living and non-living systems.
- Understand experimental methodology, the testing of hypothesis, the power of systematic questioning and the influence of the scientific method on the world’s civilizations.

FACULTY SPOTLIGHT
Alfredo Koch
"I like to teach. The science of how vines work, the importance of growing grapes, this is what I'm into. And I show different ways, not just one way. Students like to hear about the research that has been done with varying production techniques. They like to know what others in the industry are doing."
