Why Choose Biology?
The Biology program equips students with a broad understanding of biology for transfer to four-year institutions. Students will delve into the fundamental principles of biology, including applying the principles of the scientific method; communicating effectively using scientific terminology; and critically analyzing the implications and consequences of the field of biology. Graduates may then pursue a bachelor's degree in biology or a related field.
