Department Description

Clackamas offers a complete program of courses in chemistry, physics, geology, and general science designed to fulfill lower division requirements for both science majors and non-majors. The Physical Science Department also provides science support courses for students preparing for careers in engineering, health occupations, pre-professional or the vocational/technical fields. Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution should consult a counselor at that institution as well as a CCC faculty counselor to plan a program which meets their specific degree requirements.
