Life Sciences Department Life Sciences Department G5-211 (323) 415-5036 Advances in biotechnology, medical science, and sci- entific research are progressing rapidly. New discover- ies, new inventions, new treatments are continually being developed. In this fast changing world, it is important to be able to keep pace. However, before entering such an environment, it is important to first start with the basics. The Life Science Department at ELAC offers courses designed to teach the fundamentals of Anatomy, Biol- ogy, Biotechnology, Microbiology, and Physiology. These courses provide the foundation to succeed in any life sci- ence field. Students that complete these courses gain knowledge and skills necessary to pursue health, technol- ogy, and research careers. The Life Sciences Department offers an assortment of courses designed to help students transfer to university as STEM majors. ELAC offers Associate of Science: Trans- fer degrees in Biology and in Public Health. Upon com- pletion of the common core and lower division courses, these degrees allow for streamlined transfer to universi- ties. The courses in Life Sciences are also designed to help students apply to professional schools in Allied Health. Students complete their prerequisites for programs such as: Nursing, Pharmacy, Physician's Assistant, Optometry, Nurse Practitioner, as well as Kinesiology. Graduates of the degree and certificate programs can work as technicians in medical, dental, research and industrial laboratory set- tings. The Health Science Certificate signifies completion of standard competencies to find employment as a nurs- ing assistant or aide. The Biotechnology Certificate pro- vides the technical skills and basic understanding to seek entry-level positions in biomanufacturing and pharma- ceutical industries. The Life Sciences Department strives to provide the most current, accurate, and practical educational experiences for all types of students at ELAC. The goal is that all stu- dents, even those who do not major in STEM, receive a high-quality education to succeed in their life goals.

Associate Degree Programs Environmental Studies: Biology, Associate in Arts Degree (Academic Plan E035309C) The Environmental Studies: Biology Program is an interdis- ciplinary and multidisciplinary course of study that pres- ents an overview of environmental biology issues and studies the interrelationship between biology and the environment. The curriculum prepares students to deal with the complex environmental problems that confront society by providing a broad, basic understanding of how physical, biological and human components of the envi- ronment interact. The degree's core courses examine the relationship between nature and social systems. Further- more, they introduce students to the interplay between natural and social systems, and the ideological founda- tions of humankind's attitudes and behaviors with respect to their ever-changing environments. The courses are designed to equip students with necessary lab skills that involve the scientific method, and the critical understand- ing of the interrelationship between science and nature; helping students to be more avid in the studying and solv- ing of environmental problems that deal with biological science matters. Specifically, this program uses an inter- disciplinary approach to introduce students to an over- view of environmental biology issues from a variety of per- spectives; preparing students to research, analyze, and propose solutions to the different and intricate environ- mental challenges that the world may face. Program Learning Outcomes: � Differentiate fundamental scientific concepts relat- ing biology, chemistry, environmental science, and physics. � Investigate the relationship between human society the environment from an economical, philosophical, historical, and legal perspective.
