SCIENCE
International Horizons College offers 2+2 pathway programs in Science/Engineering
At IHC, a Science pathway is one of the most popular bachelor degree programs among students. The program is designed in such a way that it instills a scientific spirit and scientific approach in the student to solve any kind of problems. The chief objective of the program is to understand the scientific basis, scientific principles and the mechanics of that field.
The popularity of the program is due to its focus in dealing with the subject area. It prepares the student to have a strong understanding all basic principles and methods that can be used in any situation, and the benefits of scientific reasoning, experimentation and critical thinking for resolving any complex problems at work.
The knowledge base that is built during this program makes it easier for the students to go into the depths of learning in a particular field of specialization, and achieve a mastery over that field. It not only helps to prepare for the Master’s degree program or other such higher degree course, but it also helps to gain admission to such a course.
