SFCC is always looking for ways to recognize student academic achievement and passion. In 2021, SFCC partnered with PLTW to offer students in the PLTW Biomedical pathway articulated college course credit. Students interested in pursuing a health science pathway can get ahead by applying to SFCC and earning valuable science credits toward an AA degree and opening students’ schedules so they can take upper level courses faster.
The PLTW Biomedical Program contains courses that focus on the application of science as it pertains to the healthcare field. Students who take these courses receive a solid foundation in scientific knowledge and important soft skills. SFCC believes that this type of program helps prepare students for college introductory level science courses.
