Biological Sciences is an exciting and rapidly changing field of study. The study of living things has undergone tremendous expansion in recent years. The Biological Science degree provides a strong foundation in the life sciences and develops skills applicable to a wide range of employment opportunities. The program emphasizes the scientific method and critical analysis and is designed for students planning to transfer to a baccalaureate-degree biology program. This 60-credit program fosters an understanding of fundamental biological principles, promotes scientific inquiry, and strengthens analytical thinking skills.
