About the program:
The two-year pre-university Science Program prepares you for university
admission to various Science Programs. At Champlain, we have found that
the best way for students to succeed is by making them part of the courses
they take and giving them the opportunity to study scientific problems the
way professional scientists do. In Biology, this means that you spend less
time listening to lectures and more time participating in group activities and
studying relevant cases. In Chemistry, you have the opportunity to put into
practice what you learn thanks to a major lab component in each course. In
Physics, option courses that are relevant to trends in science and engineering
are added to the curriculum.
Facilities Science Options – Health Science or Pure &
Applied Science:
The Chemistry Department has four fully equipped labs. The labs are
furnished with laptop computers and the latest data acquisition tools. Champlain College offers two distinct streams of scientific study:
Students can see the relationship between the equipment and the Health Science and Pure & Applied Science. Each stream gives students
results in real time. Other equipment includes an Atomic Absorption a solid foundation in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. The
