2006-2007 CCBC College Catalog
Biology
A.A. (Associate
of Arts) Degree
Transfer Pattern Description:
This Arts and Sciences degree pattern is designed to help students
transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree
with a major in Biology. Beyond the General Education requirements and
options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements
of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a
transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific
requirements.
Biology is the study of living organisms, their structure, life
processes, and their interactions with each other and their environment.
A major in the biological sciences is recommended for students
interested in pursuing further study in biology, botany, zoology,
ecology/environmental sciences, microbiology, agriculture, forestry,
molecular biology, cell biology, genetics or marine biology. This
pattern also provides an excellent foundation for studies in
pre-medicine, pre-dentistry and pre-veterinary medicine and may qualify
students for positions as biology laboratory technicians. The sequence
of courses may be taken on a full-time or a part-time basis. Some
classes are offered both day and evening.
