Health I: To build a students' knowledge base of the different systems of the Human Body and its application to Medicine.



• 10th Grade

Biotechnology I: Laboratory based course to teach students the underlying concepts of both theoretical and applied biotechnological research.



• 11th Grade

Biotechnology Research: Learn advanced techniques of Biotechnology.

Medicine: Learn about disease, cancer, and other medical problems and their prevention.



• 12th Grade

Biomedical Innovations: Students work independently at TERRA in an area of interest in the biomedical sciences and outline milestones in a long-term open ended problem, using skills learned throughout the program to complete the project. .

Biotechnology Research Internship: Using biotechnological techniques, students develop a unique research project outside of TERRA at an independent research facility.

Medical Research Internship: Using medical techniques, students develop a unique research project outside of TERRA at an independent medical facility.

Forensics (elective): Students study aspects of criminal justice, analyzing evidence, DNA evidence, blood spatters, metallurgy, and entomology.
