AA/AS in Life Science

The Life Science major at Iida Junior College lets students combine three fields: school nurse training, business and design. A student can study one field in depth or mix two or three. The school nurse field leads to a second-class school nurse teaching licence and associate school psychologist status. The business field covers office and medical office skills, SPI-style aptitude test preparation, economics, management, sociology, regional management and sports business, and students can aim for medical clerk credentials, the IT Passport, Microsoft Office Specialist and grade 3 financial planning. The design field centres on textiles, including dyeing, weaving, felt, sewing and textile art, alongside computer graphics, ceramics and illustration, and it prepares for colour coordination and fashion business examinations. The social welfare officer appointment qualification is also listed.
