Certificate of Achievement Pre-Allied Health

Whether you’ve already decided you want to become a microbiologist or you’re just hoping to find out more about an especially fascinating field of science, CCC is a great place to start.

At CCC, you’ll learn basic biology concepts while applying them through hands-on scientific investigation. You won’t just learn all about cells, genes, DNA, proteins, genetic engineering, drug development, biofuels and bioremediation—you’ll actually get to apply that knowledge in the lab, using all of the procedures and state-of-the-art equipment commonly found in the industry.

If you’ve already decided on biotechnology as a career, we offer certificates and degrees to meet most any goal. Our certificates of achievement provide hands-on laboratory training for entry-level employment in biotech manufacturing, quality control and research and development. And our associate degree programs do all of that while preparing you to advance to a four-year university.

While you’re here, you can also gain great experience and boost your resume by joining our Soil Microbiome Project Research Team. There, you’ll perform hands-on biological research–taking soil samples, performing DNA extraction and sequencing and using cutting-edge bioinformatics tools and software.

And, we definitely encourage you to take advantage of the incredible services and events hosted by the Adelante STEM Academy and Center for Science Excellence on campus.

So why not check out the program, see if we can help you pay for college or even get the ball rolling and apply now?
