Wonder how the world works?
From the creatures we care for to the machines we build and the planet we call home,
science, engineering and math help us understand our world, and shape its future.
Take to the skies with Astronomy, Physics, and Meteorology. Dig deeper into the earth
with Geology, Environmental Science, and Natural Resources. Get hands-on with animals
through Zoo Keeping and Veterinary Assisting. Or design, build, and solve real-world
problems through Engineering. With so many directions to explore, this pathway can
turn your curiosity into skills, opportunities, and a career you’re excited about.

At PPSC, our Associate of Engineering Science sets you up for in‑demand careers in design, innovation, and problem‑solving. Choose from six specialized tracks, including Aerospace, Civil, Industrial, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or General Engineering, and enjoy a seamless transfer to one of our partner universities. Start here, move forward, and build the future you’ve imagined.
Biology is the study of life, from microscopic cells to complex ecosystems. If you’re curious about how living things grow, interact, and adapt, biology offers exciting opportunities to explore the natural world. PPSC provides a strong foundation in biological sciences to prepare you for careers in healthcare, research, environmental science, biotechnology, and more, or for seamless transfer to a four-year university.
Transform your future.Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop practical solutions to meet the needs of society. Talk about gratifying work. PPSC supplies the first two years of engineering studies to prepare you to transfer to an engineering school. You’ll learn about different fields of engineering and have opportunities to connect with industry.
Let’s get building.Learn how to care for, protect and re-establish species of animals. Learn animal husbandry, exhibit and horticulture design, and preventative medicine. Imagine how amazing it would be to work in zoos, conservation preserves, humane societies, aquariums, and wildlife rehab centers.
Keep the natural balance.What if you could educate people on how to improve behaviors to prevent chronic diseases? This program will teach you the fundamentals of exercise science, nutrition, CPR, weight management, fitness, and health and wellness promotion. It’s the perfect pathway for a career as a personal trainer, fitness instructor, worksite wellness coordinator, health and wellness coach, occupational therapists, or physical therapy assistant.
Let’s get physical.The knowledge and skill sets I gained at PPSC were necessary tools in becoming the business owner I am today. The small classroom setting granted us valuable face time with our Chef instructors that wouldn’t have been possible in a larger school environment.
That’s OK! We’ve got you covered.
