Biology is the study of life and living beings, including their types, growth, structure, evolution, and where and how they live. Modern biology is very broad and it has many smaller areas, including the study of animals, plants, cells, genes, and other life science topics. This program introduces students to Biology and it includes courses that are common to all four-year institutions in Colorado. Career paths for Biology degree holders include pre-medicine, pre-pharmacy, pre-veterinary, physical therapy, dentistry, and many scientific arenas. The Associate of Science (AS) degree in Biology prepares students to complete the second half of a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Biology at a four-year university.
