Students in each academy at BCA take a Career and Technical Education (CTE) course every year, in addition to their other core courses. For the class of 2030, the AMST CTE sequence is anticipated to be:   

9th Grade: Experimental Biology
Experimental Biology introduces students to experimental design, basic lab skills, and data collection and analysis in the biological sciences. Topics include (project development and experimental design) (elements of using primary literature) (bioinformatics) (technical writing) (laboratory techniques) (data collection) (data analysis and presentation) (representing data in figures) (and conveying technical information). Students will spend one trimester with each biology research teacher, learning to become comfortable working with different mentors and in different environments.

10th Grade: Human Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomy and Physiology, the study of the structure and function of the human body, is necessary as a basic science prerequisite for students seeking careers in the medical field. This course, which will also include basic chemistry, biochemistry, and histology, is designed to give the students a selective overview of human anatomical structure and an analysis of human physiological principles by following a sequential study of the major body systems in an organized and structured curriculum. There will be extensive laboratory activities that accompany each unit under study. Units will include: characteristics of life, levels of organization, chemistry, biochemistry, cells, integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system (including the eye and ear), endocrine system, lymphatic and immune system, cardiovascular system (including the blood), respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, and the reproductive system and embryology. Emphasis will be placed on the application of knowledge and skills from previous science classes to the study of human anatomy and physiology.

11th Grade: Advanced Placement Biology
Subject areas that are covered include: chemistry of life, cellular anatomy and physiology, evolution, classification and diversity of life, genetics, plant anatomy and physiology, animal anatomy and physiology, ecology. Some of the labs are investigations of: enzyme reaction rates, fruit fly genetics, population genetics and transpiration. Upon completion of the AP biology course students are well prepared to take the AP Biology Exam.  Twelve required AP labs are completed as well as additional labs.

12th Grade: Advanced Topics in Medicine
