Biology (Transfer)

Do you have an endless sense of curiosity and a desire to understand how things work?

Those are traits you share with many of the scientists and doctors who are focused on finding cures for life-threatening diseases and developing life-saving vaccines. A background in Biology, or the study of all living things, is a strong foundation for careers in many fields, including medicine, medical research, healthcare, forensics, and environmental conservation. A Biology program will help you learn scientific methods and evidence-based approaches for collecting and interpreting data about people, plants, animals, and other living organisms.

Knowledge and skills you will learn:

• Biological systems and processes
• Evolution
• Energy and matter pathways and transformations
• Information flow, exchange, and storage
• Research and investigative skills
• Data collection and analysis
• Quantitative reasoning
• Use of scientific tools and technology
• Critical thinking
• Communication skills
• Collaboration
