AA/AS in Biology, General

Biology at Chaffey College is designed as a foundation for transfer into biology and related sciences at four-year institutions. Students can choose between an associate of science for transfer in biology and a biological sciences associate of science. The department values varied perspectives within scientific thought and invites students to visit its facilities to see the resources they can use as biology majors. Instructional assistants and lab technical staff support work across the Chino, Fontana and Rancho sites. A large faculty, led by a biology coordinator, teaches the courses and advises students planning to continue in the life sciences. Program maps for each pathway show the recommended course order, and students are welcome to ask faculty about lab resources, transfer planning and how coursework connects to later study in the health and life sciences.
