About Associate of Science - Biology (Optional Co-op)
Program Description
The Associate of Science in Biology is a first step toward a career as a microbiologist, nature conservation officer, doctor, pharmacologist, marine biologist and more. In this program, students will study human anatomy and physiology, general biology, microbiology, pathophysiology, marine biology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, ecology, zoology and evolution.
Biology is the study of life. It explores the diversity and similarities of living things and the interaction between them and their environments. Biology is also linked to other sciences, such as Chemistry and Physics, as each depends on the other to create life. For example, Biology depends on Chemistry because living things depend on the interaction of atoms and molecules. Without Physics ‒ space, matter, energy and time ‒ living things could not exist on Earth.
An Associate of Science Degree in Biology can lead to a Biology Major or Minor Bachelor of Science Degree program at a university. Many universities prefer candidates with an Associate Degree and will accept students at a lower grade point average. In most cases, this degree will allow students to transfer to the third year of a four-year bachelor’s degree program at other universities.
Students enrolled in this program may be eligible for a Co-operative Education designation. Co-operative Education involves alternating full-time academic and work terms. For information contact the Co-operative Education Office.
Note: Campus location may vary between years depending on program availability.
