Gordon College

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES AND BIOLOGY

An Associate of Science Degree in Biology and Biological Sciences allows you to concentrate in a specific area of science which closely corresponds with bachelor's degrees. The degree prepares you for paraprofessional work and enables you to develop skills at an entry level. It will also allow you to pursue challenging careers in such areas as the food industry, public utilities, chemical sales, field biology, or data analysis.
