Norco College released 41 new program pages to help students understand and navigate certificate and degree options. Pages include career options, trailheads, major information, and student/faculty profiles. The program pages have also been added to the A-Z index. This week's program spotlight is on the Health Science program.

Health Science is the study of Earth's landscapes, peoples, places and environments. It is about the world in which we live. Health Science is divided into two main branches: human health science and physical health science. There are additional branches in health science such as regional health science, cartography, and integrated health science.
