AA/AS in Biology, General

Biology at Cuesta College is the study of life: how organisms vary, how they evolve, and how their internal processes work. Instructors rely on the scientific method as the framework for inquiry. The courses are arranged in a progression that helps students appreciate how the living world fits together and how that knowledge is put to use in healthcare, conservation, engineering, and ordinary life. Graduates can transfer, move into fieldwork, or choose from many other career directions. Students who want to look further can open the matching area-of-study page on the Cuesta College website. It lays out sequences of courses meant to help with choosing classes each term and with planning what comes after graduation, whether that means transfer, work, or more study. The division also lists a contact for specific questions about the subject.
