Biology is the study of living organisms and their relationship to their environment. Study can be on the molecular level, the function level, the organism level or the environment level. Areas of study are as wide and varied as life itself. While much of the work of biology is done in research laboratories, some of it is also done in the field — collecting specimens, observing natural behaviors or completing population studies.

Chemistry is the study of material on the molecular level: how molecules are structured, how they react with each other and under what conditions, how can they be modified and how each modification affects physical properties. There is nothing that chemistry does not affect — from food to medicine, from pollution control to paint formulation, from permanent-press clothes to kitchen countertops. Most of the work of chemistry is done in research, applications or quality-control laboratories.

Chemistry is the study of all matter found in living structures, geological formations and human-created products. Chemists explore the molecular structure of matter in order to develop theories about how such structures work and apply these theories to the development of products that range from pharmaceuticals to heat shields.

An understanding of the past is fundamental to an understanding of the present. The analysis and interpretation of history provide tools to evaluate today's institutions, politics and cultures. History is unique among the liberal arts in its emphasis on historical perspective and context. Historians insist that the past must be understood on its own terms; any historical person, movement, idea, law, culture or belief must first be understood by how it came to be that way. Among the liberal arts, History is the discipline most concerned with understanding change. The AA Degree in History is designed to allow seamless transition into the History BA at the College of Arts and Sciences at the UC uptown campus, but can be used as the building block for other majors as well.

Education is the profession of teaching. Teachers act as coaches, using interactive discussions and “hands-on” approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. They provide the tools and the environment for their students to learn abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. Middle childhood educators can teach grades four through nine. Middle childhood teachers help students delve more deeply into subjects introduced in elementary school and expose them to more information about the world. Middle childhood teachers in Ohio usually specialize in two of four concentrations: science, math, language arts, and social studies.
