The Science Program offers an Associate in Science (A.S.) and an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degrees with concentrations in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. These programs of study are fully transferable to baccalaureate degree granting institutions throughout the State of New Jersey, as well as to many institutions of higher learning nationwide. The OCC science program has been strengthened by the addition of Kean University right on our own campus.
