Biology
Students interested in pursuing a major in biology should choose the A.S.
STEM Option where they will be able to tailor their degree to the transfer
institution of their choice. Students should consult an advisor and ARTSYS
before determining their course selections.

A.A.S. Degree (Career)
Prepares individuals to work as process operators in biological products
manufacturing facilities. Students will combine basic science and
communication skills, manufacturing technologies and good manufacturing
practices in the course of study. Students will develop a strong basic science
foundation with a sound understanding of the major technologies employed
in the industry. They will also develop collaborative and disciplined work
ethics while consistently practicing problem-solving skills. Upon successful
completion of the program, individuals will possess the necessary skills to
qualify for employment in a variety of bioprocessing industries.
• Students must complete their credit
English and Mathematics
within the first
24 credits.
• One general education course must meet the
cultural competence
graduation requirement
(list page 43).
• CORE:The General Education CORE
(page 42) is that foundation of the higher
education curriculumproviding a coherent intellectual experience for all students.
Students should check with an advisor or the transfer institution (ARTSYS) before
selecting General Education CORE requirements.
