From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The school includes approximately 2,300 students from in and around Beaver County.

History

CCBC was formed in 1966 and was originally located in Freedom, Pennsylvania. The college originally leased floors of the Freedom National Bank building and 17 vacant storefronts for classrooms and offices.

CCBC moved to Center Township, Beaver County where it created its own campus in 1971. In 1976, CCBC added a building called ‘The Golden Dome’ which is a geodesic recreational facility that houses the athletic department and showcases local community events. This building is no doubt the most recognizable symbol of CCBC.

In 1990, the school created an aviation building to house its acclaimed aviation program in Chippewa Township, Beaver County. The school built a new library in 1997 that also provides services to the Beaver County community.

Recently, CCBC became county-sponsored and saw a dramatic increase in enrollment. Many local community members and alumni recognize CCBC as an outstanding learning institution.

Question: Air Traffic Control- Math or Science?

I'm going to be attending Community College of Beaver County soon and the curriculum shown on the website for the first year (first two semesters) basically has a choice of two sets of classes, one with algebra, and the other with science. Does anyone know which would be easier? I mean I know it probably differs as everyone has a stronger subject but in general, which classes are easier for anyone who has taken them already.

Best Answer

Well, I think you should really go for whichever one will help you the most with your future. As to the easier of the 2 I would say algebra. It really depends on what type of science it is since you did not specify but monkeys can do algebra, they start you off in 7th grade in algebra here.
