Associate of Arts Botany
Botany is a branch of biology that studies plants (e.g. structure, development, classification). Upon completion of the Associate of Arts in Botany degree, students will have gained an understanding of the fundamental principles of biology and of the scientific process, and will be able to demonstrate the analytical, critical thinking, and communication skills needed for continuing academic achievement and professional success. The Associate of Arts in Botany degree is designed to give students a foundational degree to serve those students who wish to enter the workforce prepared with an associate degree. It may also be used as a basis for transfer to a four-year college or university, but students should consult with a counselor for guidance with their academic plan.
