Biology pathway (AS)

Biology pathway, AS

Students will discover principles of laboratory science and build foundations in cell biology, genetics, ecology, evolution, and more.
Students will study living organisms at a micro and macro level and will gain a perspective on both the unity and diversity that living organisms demonstrate.

Program Information

The Biology pathway with AS in degree is for the student seeking a bachelor’s degree in biology and/or a degree in a professional discipline (e.g., medical, dental, pharmacy). Students will discover principles of laboratory science and build foundations in cell biology, genetics, ecology, evolution, and more. Students will study living organisms at a micro and macro level and will gain a perspective on both the unity and diversity that living organisms demonstrate.
