Biology
Transfer Guide for Associate Degree
Gadsden State Community College offers an Associate of
Science degree in Biology. Occasionally individuals with an Associate of Science
degree will be qualified to assist in the maintenance of equipment, and will
serve as support personnel in setting up labs, preparing labs, helping take care
of research animals or plants, etc.
Most often an Associate degree in Biology serves as an
intermediate step in the acquisition of a Bachelors degree. Our Associate in
Biology program of study will provide an opportunity for the student to gain an excellent
all-around knowledge of both Biology and Chemistry that will allow him or her to
be successful in the continuation of their field of study at the University
level. Our program as well as our courses will transfer directly to any of the
major universities within our state. Studies have been conducted which show that
often our students transferring from Gadsden State, with a major in Biology, to
a university are actually more successful than those students that started at
the university.
Students seeking Associate in Science in Biology should
take the Bio 103, and Bio 104 sequence and should seek out the appropriate
advisor as soon as possible after entering college to be directed into the
proper math and chemistry sequences.
