This pathway is designed to meet the Associate in Science (AS) Track 1 degree requirements with a concentration in Biology. If you enjoy science and are curious about how living things work, consider entering this pathway. Biology is an increasingly complex and exciting field, one that overlays other critical subdisciplines from anatomy, pathology and ecology to chemistry, genetics and botany. Each of these intersects with the study of life and living organisms. And of course, medical and scientific innovation continue to drive biology into new and thrilling directions. This means that your biology education will touch on issues impacting human, animal and plant life far and wide, including subjects like genetic engineering, transhumanism, GMO farming, and global climate change. In this pathway, you’ll learn about life on Earth and how it forms, functions, evolves and interacts. Courses explore topics like evolution, genetics and the cellular process in microorganisms, plants and animals. You’ll also learn about the scientific method and gain hands-on experiences in the lab. Most of our biology students continue their education by transferring to a four-year college or university at a junior standing. Whether you want a career in science education, zoology, botany, wildlife, ecology, microbiology or biotechnology—or you plan to apply your biology degree toward a future in medicine, nursing or other allied health profession—this pathway is an excellent start.
