Program Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this major, the student will be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between structure and function by predicting the function of unfamiliar structures based on knowledge of previously studied cells, tissues, and organs;
2. use skills acquired in the human anatomy course to learn new body structures;
3. work safely in a lab or clinical setting with microorganisms;
4. explain pharmaceutical drug actions based on knowledge of physiological mechanisms;
5. apply knowledge of anatomy, microbiology, physiology to more advanced courses required in allied health majors; and

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year
institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are
intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities,
specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a
counselor,
