Biology - RBMC & Middlesex County College Nursing Program

Biology from RBMC & Middlesex County College Nursing Program is a Campus Associate Biology degree that prepares you for a Science career. Students choose from a traditional biology major curriculum or an option designed to prepare them for Pre-Physical Therapy, Pre-Occupational Therapy or Pre-Physician's Assistant programs. These curricula parallel the first two years of a baccalaureate degree in biology. The traditional biology major prepares students, upon graduation, to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a career in biology related fields such as molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, ecology or any biological field. Students interested in Pre-Medicine, Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Chiropractic or Pre-Veterinary may major in either the traditional Biology major or Chemistry major. Contact the department chair for assistance in choosing an appropriate major. The Pre-Professional option prepares students to transfer to colleges offering programs in Pre-Physical Therapy, Pre-Occupational Therapy or Pre-Physician's Assistant. What will students learn if they study Biology Transfer or Biology Pre-Professional Degree Options? They concentrate on the theoretical and applied sciences, and mathematics.
