Biology-Option

Science and Mathematics, Associate in Science

This option is designed for students who wish to major in biology and who plan to transfer into the junior year of pre-professional programs such as ecology, biology, pharmacy, chiropractics, medical, dental, mortuary, horticulture, veterinary and education. It is appropriate for technician-level job opportunities when two years of academic preparation in biology is required.

It is strongly recommended that students entering the program have a minimum of one year of high school biology, chemistry and mathematics at an advanced level. Electives should be selected based on the student's interest, the requirements of the transfer institution or technician-level vocation opportunities. Basic Skills requirements must be met before entering into the program. Some courses require prerequisites; check course descriptions.

For information, contact the department chairperson, Dr. Godfrey Barlatt at (609) 343-5047 or e-mail barlatt@atlantic.edu.
