Associate Degree in Biological Science - Contra Costa

The Associate Degree in Biological Science is designed to prepare a transfer pathway for students who plan to complete a baccalaureate degree in biology or a similar major at California State University (CSU).

Courses within the Biological Sciences Department prepare students for both vocational careers and for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. The courses and laboratories we offer allow students to experience and understand the diversity of life and how it functions on a scale ranging from molecules to ecosystems. Biotechnology courses demonstrate the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine, and other applications.

After finishing the two-year program, you can transfer to a public or private university to pursue a degree.
