生物学
The science of life.
关于
生物学 helps develop an informed sense of how we may individually and collectively continue to fit into the complex ecology of our planet. Biologists are employed in research, teaching, administration, service, and sales in governmental agencies, educational institutions, private business, and industry.
Along with chemistry, biology is also a degree that should be considered by a student whose career goal is a doctorate-level credential in a health-related field. 本科 degree in biology can be a stepping stone to a career as a doctor, dentist, orthodontist, or veterinarian, for example. 学生 should keep in mind that to gain entrance to a doctorate-level program, completing the required prerequisites is generally more important than type of degree obtained. With that in mind, students should study the prerequisites of the programs to which they plan to apply, and work closely with advisors to make sure that those prerequisites are satisfied.
At Tacoma Community College, science and engineering students enjoy:
- 小类
- Faculty excited about teaching
- Labs taught by the same faculty member as the lecture
- Extensive interaction with the faculty
- Well-equipped labs
- Economical tuition
Choosing your path
生物学 is a very diverse field of study, and it intersects with related disciplines including chemistry, environmental studies, and medicine. This is reflected by the courses required for various baccalaureate degrees in the natural sciences. 移行细胞癌提供了 two Associate Degrees to serve this diversity. 学生 should work closely with an advisor to select the degree path that best fulfills their goals.
Associate of 艺术 in 生物学
This degree includes all of the general education distribution requirements typically required by four year universities and prepares students for many biology major areas. 学生 who choose this degree want to complete their non-science courses at TCC and zero in on the math and science courses required for their majors at their four-year 学校.
Associate of Science with a 生物学 Specialization
This degree requires more math and chemistry, but does not fulfill all of the general education distribution courses usually required for a bachelor's degree. 学生 who choose this degree will complete the rest of their general education distribution courses after transferring to a four-year institution. But, for many students the Associate of Science degree better prepares them for the junior-level coursework required for their science major.
职业选择
A biology degree is good preparation for a number of career paths, including:
- 医学
- 牙科
- 口腔正畸学
- Veterinary 医学
- 野生动物生物学
- Molecular and Cellular 生物学
- 植物学
- Fisheries Science
- Environmental Science
Be sure to work closely with your advisor to make sure you have selected the right degree for your chosen career path.
