64 credit hours - Program Code: ALABS
Students choosing a Biological Sciences concentration receive a strong foundation
in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. This foundation helps qualified students transfer
to a four-year institution at the junior class level with a major in biology and/or
a variety of health-related programs, including pre-medical, pre-veterinary, pre-dental,
pharmacy, and nutrition. Students who seek employment after completing this program
may qualify for entry-level positions such as a laboratory technician in a college
or university environment, research laboratory, or pharmaceutical company. NOTE: When
selecting Humanities Electives, be aware that many four-year colleges require two
semesters of world language study. For more information about this program, contact
the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Division (STEM), 3-401.
