Science, Technology, Engineering & Math
Seize the opportunity to solve complex problems with creative solutions using logic and know-how. Whether engaging with the natural, physical, or digital worlds, MPC programs empower you to work with cutting-edge technologies, collaborate with experts, and tackle humanity’s most pressing problems.
Want to understand the structure and function of the human body? Enroll in Anatomy
and Physiology classes and prepare for university transfer or career entry in the
allied health professions.
Astronomy is much more than stargazing. Enroll in MPC’s Astronomy program to learn
how to explain celestial phenomena using a mix of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
Study of the world of living things, from molecules to entire ecosystems. Learn key
concepts as a framework for further study in life sciences, environmental sciences,
medicine and more.
Considered “the central science” because it draws from physics and mathematics, chemistry
forms the foundation for life sciences, engineering, and medicine. In chemistry, you'll
learn about the particle nature of matter and its properties as well as chemical compounds
and their reactions. Lab experiments and reporting give students practical experience
in a research setting.
Computer Science is bigger than code; it’s about creative problem solving. Gain the
knowledge and hands-on experience you need to embark on a career in this growing field.
If you’re good at math and science and want to apply your learning IRL, join MPC’s
Engineering program. Learn the scientific and mathematical principles, judgment, and
common sense to make things that benefit people and society.
Explore ecosystems, tackle sustainability issues, and gain real-world experience in the field and lab—preparing you for a future in conservation, policy, or green tech.
Learn how Earth processes influence people and how societal decisions influence the
planet. Conduct field research in and around Monterey Bay and prepare for further
study in marine science and geology.
In an increasingly complex, data-driven world, math matters more than ever. If you
enjoy analyzing and solving problems, you can learn math. Build confidence and prepare
for advanced studies with individualized instruction.
Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the interactions between them – from the
heat of a stove to orbiting planets. Learn the laws and principles of physics and
experiment with motion, heat, light, electro-magnetism, and matter.
Master the fundamentals of programming and gain practical skills that are in high
demand. Coursework prepares students for immediate entry-level employment on the leading
edge of innovation.
