Biological Science
A degree in biological sciences opens the door to a wide variety of choices — from the health sciences to environmental technology, from biomedical research to wildlife biology. The range of possibilities is limited only by students’ own interests, aptitudes, and imagination! Since programs differ at each of the four-year colleges, students should consider program outlines published by the college or university to which they intend to transfer. Students should prepare their quarterly schedules with the assistance of an advisor knowledgeable in this transfer area.
