Associate in Science, Emphasis in Biological Sciences

The Associate in Science (AS), Emphasis in Biological Sciences provides the first two years of a four-year curriculum for students who wish to specialize in biological sciences and/or are preparing for application to professional graduate programs in various medical fields. With a bachelor`s degree, students may pursue a career as a biological research lab or field technician. With a graduate degree, students may pursue a number of careers, including but not limited to, bioinformatic scientists, molecular and cellular biologists, ecologists, wildlife conservationists and environmental scientists, marine biologists, secondary school (grades 7-12) teachers and university professors, pharmaceutical developer, food safety investigator, geneticists, physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, dentists, and optometrists and veterinarians.

Notes

Students must earn a grade of C or better in each course in the program.

Admission to graduate/professional programs is competitive. GPA in science courses (as well as cumulative GPA) is often an important selection criterion. Understanding of course content is important in preparation for exams such MCAT, DAT, PCAT and GRE that are generally weighted in admissions rankings.

What You'll Learn

This pathway map will help you gain the expertise needed to:

Explain the relationship between structure and function at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels.
Apply fundamental theories of physical and life sciences to explain the diversity of living things and modes of energy exchange.
Apply the scientific method to investigate fundamental and novel questions regarding natural phenomena.
Utilize technology to conduct experiments and collect, analyze and communicate data.
Adhere to standard safety protocols when performing experiments and collecting data.
Critically evaluate the internal and external validity of scientific studies to inform decisions.
Effectively communicate orally, visually and in writing in an articulate, respectful and culturally responsive manner.
