Biology (BIOL)
The Biology Department provides courses in the study of living organisms. Courses prepare students for university transfer and careers in science, medicine, pharmacy and related fields. In addition, the program seeks to develop an awareness of the nature of scientific inquiry, to build connections between areas within biology and with related disciplines, and to strengthen students’ academic and critical thinking skills. Lastly, recognizing that students will be making choices relating to future study and careers, the program aims to engage students in activities, discussions and experiences aimed at forming a concrete basis for these important decisions.
