Biological Sciences
Biology is a diverse subject that can cover many specialized fields. We offer courses in many biological sciences, from Anatomy to Zoology. We also provide useful courses for those who plan to go into medical or nursing careers. Our Biological Sciences degree programs meet the transfer requirements for many different kinds of fields.
Biological Sciences
A.S. Degree
If you’re interested in any kind of field in biology, this is the degree program you need. We provide you with coursework to meet the transfer requirements for over twenty kinds of fields. The careers paths you can take range from Forestry to Occupational Therapy. A Biological Science A.S. degree can also help you get an entry-level position in the field of your choice.
Watershed Ecology
A.S. Degree and/or Certificate
Watersheds—the land area draining into the major creeks and river systems—require a lot of care. Our Watershed Ecology Technician’s (WET) program offers an A.S. degree in the study of all aspects of the environment, including the organisms that live within an entire watershed. We provide you with the basics you need for an entry-level position with relevant organizations or governmental agencies.
Watershed Ecology Certificate
Like the degree program, you will study Watershed ecology in detail.
The certificate will give you the basic knowledge to secure an
entry-level place in the workforce. If you’re interested in working for
agencies such as the EPA, the certificate will help you get there.
