Biology - Associate in Arts
The purpose of the associate degree in Biology is to provide a lower division science foundation for those interested in pursuing biology as a major field of study. Students considering careers in research, teaching, medical fields, biotechnology, or other related fields require a foundation in biological sciences. This major is not intended as a transfer degree. Students who intend to transfer are recommended to complete the Biology AS-T.
