Program Overview

Biology, the study of life, is a relevant field with many sub-disciplines. An Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in Biology at SCC is an excellent choice to prepare for a career in the biological sciences. This degree is designed for students planning to major in general biology, pre-health professions (pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pre-veterinary medicine, pre-physician assistant) or any related biological disciplines. The coursework at SCC provides the knowledge and skills necessary for transfer to a biology program at a four-year college or university, as it mimics the courses taken during the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program. This allows for seamless transfer so students can start at their institution of choice as close to the junior year as possible. At SCC, students can expect to have a personalized, high-quality experience with small class sizes, hands-on learning, real-world skills and one-on-one interactions with their professors.

The A.S. degree in Biology consists of 62-64 credit hours where foundation science courses are taken along with some of the general education requirements. Transferability of courses is dependent on the transfer institution, so students should work with an advisor at their transfer institution as soon as possible to verify they are enrolled in the correct courses.
