AA/AS in Biology, General

Biology at Cabrillo College introduces students to living organisms and the scientific method used to study them. The department sits in the STEM area and offers courses at both the Aptos and Watsonville campuses. The page presents several goals under one department, including a transfer-oriented associate degree, an associate in science, and certificates tied to biotechnology and allied health careers. A background in the life sciences prepares students for work in health professions, agriculture, parks and recreation, education and related fields. Students can find program maps, current classes, tutoring and STEM center support, clubs, internships and research-preparation opportunities, as well as a department scholarship described near the bottom of the page. Prospective students can speak with the department or a counselor to plan their coursework and confirm how credits transfer.
