Biology AS
Transfer Degree Description
Do you have an endless sense of curiosity and a desire to understand how things work? Those are traits you share with many of the scientists and doctors who are focused on finding cures for life-threatening diseases and developing life-saving vaccines. A background in Biology, or the study of all living things, is a strong foundation for careers in many fields, including medicine, medical research, healthcare, forensics, and environmental conservation. A Biology program will help you learn scientific methods and evidence-based approaches for collecting and interpreting data about people, plants, animals, and other living organisms.
An associate degree in Biology can lead to a wide array of professional roles, including molecular biologist, lab technician, genetic counselor, forensic investigator, or environmental scientist. This degree is transferable to universities offering a bachelor’s degree in Biology.
Students should work closely with their advisor and contact their transfer institution choices for more specific transfer information.
