School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics
The Associate of Science degree in Biology introduces students to fundamental principles so that students will leave GHC's courses with a thorough understanding of the scientific method and its implementation, major biological processes, laboratory skills, field-based skills, and the technical experience required to be successful in any number of career or educational pathways. This degree pathway prepares students for careers and/or further degree opportunities in agriculture, biology, environmental science, research, education, medicine, and many other related/technical fields or continue towards a Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Natural Resources at GHC.
To qualify for graduation, students must meet all graduation requirements.
