Overview
Science (SRAM 200.B1) is John Abbott's standard two-year pre-university DEC combining rigorous training in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, and computer science with a general-education foundation, along with an optional earth-science component. The program page describes an interdisciplinary, problem-solving approach and notes that after a common first semester, students can choose a path toward a Health Science or a Pure & Applied orientation, or select option courses more freely to match their own interests; two option courses are required for graduation from a rotating list that includes subjects such as organic chemistry, forensic chemistry, planetary geology, and multivariable calculus. First-semester students are placed into a Learning Community that pairs two of their science courses so the same cohort studies together, which the page presents as a way to build peer support early on. The page states the program leads toward further study or careers spanning fields from architecture and engineering to medicine, nursing, and environmental science. It suits students who are intellectually curious about science, comfortable with a demanding course load, and interested in keeping a wide range of STEM-related university programs open after graduation.
