AA/AS in Biology, General

The biological science major mainly serves students who intend to move to a university and then work in research, teaching, laboratory technology or a health care profession. Because the math needed for biology differs greatly among universities, students should check what their target schools require and plan around it. The department aims to supply a wide variety of courses for majors in the life and health sciences while also offering strong general-interest classes to students in other fields. The credential available is an associate degree in biological science. Students can take courses on campus, through hybrid sections or entirely online, and faculty hold regular office hours in several formats. Prospective students can review the degree requirements and course descriptions linked from the program page, which also names the faculty and the campus locations where they work.
