AA/AS in Biology, General

Pierce College offers Biology and Biomedical Science as an Associate of Science (Track 1). The program centers on life science preparation for continuing at a university, and the college publishes it as a course map within its catalog. Instructors from the college designed the map as a guided path, listing the courses in a suggested order so that students can plan each term in advance. If a class is not offered when needed, students are advised to choose the closest suitable alternative in the sequence and ask for help from the support network. Students interested in the biomedical side of the sciences can use it as a starting point. The map serves as a planning guide only, so each student stays responsible for completing every requirement set by the college before graduating.
