AA/AS in Biology, General

The Biology program leads to an Associate of Science degree and gives students a base for continued study in the life sciences. Many students use it as the first stage of a longer path toward a bachelor's degree and, later, professional or graduate programs. The program page includes a link to a career destination map and to the detailed degree requirements in the college catalog. Occupations named there include geneticist and general dentist, which illustrates the range of fields that grow out of biology coursework. Students are expected to continue their studies after Navarro College. Some professions require licensure or certification that depends on Texas and federal law, so applicants should confirm requirements with the relevant board. The degree suits students who enjoy laboratory work and the study of living systems.
