PRE-BIOLOGY  (BIO-AA)

Advisers for this program are located in the Natural Science Office Building

 

PRIMARY ADVISER:   Melissa Moore (ext. 2853)

 

PROGRAM GOAL: This program prepares students for entering the university as a biology major.  Generally, most state universities offer a B.S. or B.A. in biology or related life science fields such as botany, zoology, microbiology and cell science, entomology, plant science, animal science, and wildlife ecology.  Because of the diversity among degree programs, students should contact the university they plan to attend as soon as possible to determine the curriculum option in which they are most interested and the admissions requirements of that university.  Additionally, most universities require one year of a foreign language.  All state universities in Florida offer upper division studies in biology.
