Program Description

The biological science track is a transfer program

that provides the first two years of courses necessary

for a four-year baccalaureate degree in one of the

biological sciences. Working closely with a

counselor or advisor, students will be able to tailor

their program of study to fit the needs of most, if not

all, colleges and universities offering a degree in

biology or the biological sciences. Also, students

planning to transfer to a four-year institution prior to

attending medical, dental, veterinary, physical

therapy, podiatry, or chiropractic school will find all

or most of the prerequisite courses needed for

admission to these professional schools. Finally,

students planning to transfer to pharmacy, medical

technology, or optometry school programs that

accept students after two years of undergraduate

education will find all the courses needed for

admission into these programs.

Students are strongly advised to work closely with a

biology or chemistry faculty member or an

academic transfer counselor in order to select

courses that will prevent or minimize the loss of

credits upon transfer.

Program Outcomes

Upon completion of this program a student will be able

to:

• Identify, describe, and explain basic biological

concepts

• Use an interdisciplinary approach to explain and

solve life science concepts (from knowledge

learned in biological, chemical, and physical

sciences and mathematics).

• Utilize the scientific method to analyze problems

in the life sciences.
