Science and Allied Health Division
The Science and Allied Health Division at Eastern Arizona College helps students
prepare for careers in many exciting areas of the sciences and health services.
The learning experience here is greater than just getting the courses you need
to transfer to a university or earn a certificate. At Eastern, much of the classwork
is hands-on and the classroom often is not limited to four walls.

Biology
Biology at Eastern offers the opportunity to study unique habitats in the area.
Mt. Graham creates the perfect natural lab in our own backyard. You get a close
up look at the remarkable biological diversity of a "sky island,"
from low-desert terrain at its base to sub-alpine forests at its peak.
The Environmental Biology class performs service projects such as planting
trees for wildlife cover and cleaning trails at the nearby Cluff Ranch Wildlife
Refuge. Students help organize and run a health fair for high school students.
Health professionals give presentations and students work in various labs, such
as microscopy and cadaver dissection.

Chemistry
In our chemistry labs, you'll find up-to-date chemistry instrumentation. This
includes gas chromatographs, electrolytical analyzers, pH meters, Geiger counters
and spectrophotometers.
A field trip to Phelps-Dodge mine to observe copper processing is a vital part
of introductory chemistry classes.
Students help organize and run the Chemistry Adventure each year, which provides
the opportunity to work with high school students on special science projects.

Nursing
The Associate Degree Nursing program is designed to prepare qualified students
for beginning employment as staff nurses who provide direct care to patients.
On completion of the program, students are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN test
leading to certification as a registered nurse. All nursing courses are offered
through the Thatcher campus and admission is competitive.

Physics and Astronomy
Eastern's physics program
(classroom and laboratories) contains state of the art equipment. Students are
encouraged to be involved in active and interactive learning through group discussions,
demonstrations and simulations (both computer and old fashioned). Computers
and interfaces are available to students for data acquisition.
When you take Astronomy classes at Eastern, you can explore world-class observatories
at nearby Mt. Graham, and also at Safford's new Discovery Park. Eastern's own
observation deck in the Math-Science complex features eight telescopes. This
gives students the opportunity to spend time actually viewing the night sky
to study celestial objects and thus learning from first-hand experience.
