Scientific Workplace Preparation, CCC

Purpose

The College Credit Certificate (CCC) in Scientific Workplace Preparation prepares students for entry-level employment in a science or engineering laboratory. It improves the student’s communication, information technology, and math skills while developing basic scientific laboratory skills. Students completing this certificate can continue their studies by enrolling in the Science and Engineering Technology, AS degree.

Credits earned in a CCC may be applied toward completion of the AS Degree in Science and Engineering Technology.
