Some updates after speaking to an enrollment counselor at NMJC. I hope this can help someone out.
1. Science courses do not use lab kits, they design the labs so that you use common household items or items you can buy from a dollar store. It was explained to me that this is cheaper, safer, and makes the material more relevant to the students.
2. If you're taking pre-requisites for the purposes of pre-medicine or pre-health, be careful. There are actually 2 forms of biology. They have general biology for non-sciences majors and biology for sciences majors. Obviously, if you're pursuing nursing or medicine, you'll want to stick with the sciences for science majors.
3. The term schedule is chock full o' classes for non-sciences majors, but there's just a sprinkle of classes for sciences majors, which is unfortunate. Next, I'm going to check out portage learning because, at a glance, it appears to be developed for science majors.
