This degree can lead to a baccalaureate degree in biology at accredited colleges and universities. It is appropriate for students interested in pre-professional programs, such as, biology, ecology, pharmacy, chiropractics, medical, dental, mortuary science, horticulture, veterinary and education. It may also apply to technician-level job opportunities when two years of academic preparation in biology are required. Electives should be selected based on the student’s interest, the requirements of the transfer institution or technical-level vocation opportunities. It is strongly recommended that students entering the program have a minimum of one year of high school biology, chemistry and mathematics at an advanced level.
