Biology, Associate of Science, AFS3

An Associate's Degree in Science in Biology will give students a solid foundation in the Biological Sciences. If students choose to pursue a four-year degree, the core courses that they have taken for their Associate's degree will give them a head start on the Bachelor's Degree in Biology. Students who graduate from this program can also work in the biological sciences as a science technician. Science technicians use the principles and theories of science and mathematics to assist in research and development.
