Biological Sciences - Everett Community College

Biological Sciences from Everett Community College is a Campus Associate Biology degree that prepares you for a Science career. GENERAL INFORMATION Biological Sciences include the study of diverse types of living organisms at all levels of their organization. Specialties include Cellular and Molecular Biology , Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, Genetics, Physiology, Evolutionary Biology and Ecology. Students whose eventual goal is medical, dental or veterinary school usually major in some area of the biological sciences; separate EvCC guides are also available for those programs. In all of these cases, the student will need to finish at least a baccalaureate (4-year) degree . The first two years of courses (or more if pre-college level courses are required) can be taken at the community college, and the junior and senior year completed at a 4- year college or university. EvCC offers two degrees that are part of a statewide agreement that smooths the transfer process for students. Both degrees offer qualified students priority for admission with junior status at most 4-year institutions in Washington. Students interested in colleges and universities outside of Washington may also find the requirements of these degrees to be appropriate. It is essential to speak with a program advisor before selecting the degree path, as each university has different requirements. The Associate of Science degree requires that the student complete all freshman and sophomore math and science courses and a limited number of courses in English, Humanities and Social Science. Upon transfer, the student will be eligible for junior level science courses, but will need to complete the remaining distribution requirements before graduation with a baccalaureate degree . The Associate of Arts and Sciences - Option II degree enables the student to complete basic distribution requirements in Math, English, Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences, and to begin the major course of study. However, the student will have to take additional freshman and sophomore level science courses at the university before being eligible for junior level courses in a science major. CAREER OPTIONS Students pursuing an undergraduate (baccalaureate) degree in Biology have a broad variety of career options. They may eventually work in field or laboratory research or consulting, teach secondary level biology, pursue further academic work in the biological sciences (masters or doctorate degree), or enter medical, dental, veterinary or other health professional graduate programs.
