ATTENTION STUDENTS: ALL BIO 112, BIO 210 labs and BIO 211 labs will meet on Airport campus in the fall 2009 semester. Students will take the lecture portion of the Beltline sections on Beltline; they must take the lab on Airport.

The Science Department is responsible for teaching courses in four separate disciplines, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, primarily on the Airport and Beltline campuses. Limited courses are occasionally offered in the Harbison and Batesburg/Leesville campuses and in Fairfield County. A wide variety of online courses are also offered to facilitate accessibility to science courses via Distance Learning.

The department provides the basic science courses necessary for programs in Engineering, Health Science, Industrial Technology, and Nursing. The department also offers a  comprehensive selection of courses that satisfy the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees. Our courses transfer for credit to four year college and universities and satisfy everything from the laboratory science requirements for non-science majors to the laboratory science core in physical and life science degree programs.

Our curriculum supports the General Education Competencies for scientific reasoning. Students who take the majority of our science courses will meet the general education core competency in scientific reasoning and should:

  • understand and be able to use scientific methodology and principles

  • fulfill requirements for several Associate Degrees and Certificates offered at Midlands Technical College

  • be able to take courses that transfer to senior colleges and universities
