The mission of the Associate in Science: Biology and Biology Education program is to prepare graduates who have chosen a career in science research and/or teaching for transfer to a senior college or university in order to pursue a four-year degree in biology or biology education.
The courses in this degree program are selected from the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree offerings but also include more courses in the biological sciences and/or education to help meet four-year degree and state requirements in the field.
Associate in Arts (A.A.) programs require 44 hours of general education core coursework as well as 21 hours of additional studies to prepare students to continue their education at a four-year institution and/or enter the workplace immediately upon graduation.
Students should contact the four-year institution to which they intend to transfer for assistance in deciding which courses at Southeastern are most appropriate for their major.
Students should also consult with their advisors to help plan a program of study to complete program course work and fulfill the minimum general education competency requirements that must be met prior to graduation.
The Pre-Biology and Biology Education program is designed for students who have chosen a career in science research and/or teaching and who wish to transfer to a senior college or university to pursue a four-year degree with a major in biology education or other majors in biology or related studies.
