Biological Sciences

Scientists study all aspects of living organisms, emphasizing the relationship of animals and plants to their environment. Many scientists enter the field of research and development, while others teach in college or university settings.

The curriculum for the associate in science degree with an emphasis in the biological sciences is designed to prepare the student with a broad background in biology. Biology is the scientific study of all living organisms.
