program and/or prepares students to meet the eligibility requirements for one
of the selective admissions programs (Surgical Technology, Respiratory Care,
and Nursing). Students are strongly urged to work with their FCC advisor to
understand how to meet the transfer requirements of the institution to which
they transfer and/or how to meet the selective admission requirements of the
allied health and Nursing programs.
Successful completion of the Pre-Health Professions AOC does not guarantee
admittance into a transfer program or selective admissions program.
Students applying for admission to FCC Nursing, Respiratory Care, or Surgical
Technology programs must earn a grade of "C" or higher in all coursework.
• Students must complete their creditEnglish and Mathematics within the first
24 credits.
• One course must meet the cultural competence graduation requirement.
• CORE: The General Education CORE is that foundation of the higher education
curriculum providing a coherent intellectual experience for all students. Students
should check with an advisor or the transfer institution (ARTSYS) before selecting
General Education CORE requirements.
• In some General Education categories (Mathematics, Biological & Physical
Sciences), a 4-credit course selected from the GenEd course list will satisfy the
requirement in place of a 3-credit course. Students should check with an advisor
before selecting these courses.
• For the PE/Health requirement, a 3-credit Physical Education or Health course may
satisfy the requirement in place of a 1-credit course. Students should check with
an advisor before selecting this course.
• Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in EN 101.

Bioprocessing Technology
A.A.S. Degree (Career)
Prepares individuals to work as process operators in biological products
manufacturing facilities. Students will combine basic science and communication
skills, manufacturing technologies and good manufacturing practices in the
course of study. Students will develop a strong basic science foundation with a
sound understanding of the major technologies employed in the industry. They
will also develop collaborative and disciplined work ethics while consistently
practicing problem-solving skills. Upon successful completion of the program,
individuals will possess the necessary skills to qualify for employment in a variety
of bioprocessing industries.
