Area of Study

Biology (Transfer)

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.
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.

Knowledge and skills you will learn:

  • Biological systems and processes
  • Evolution
  • Energy and matter pathways and transformations
  • Information flow, exchange, and storage
  • Research and investigative skills
  • Data collection and analysis
  • Quantitative reasoning
  • Use of scientific tools and technology
  • Critical thinking
  • Communication skills
  • Collaboration
