Pursue Biology

  • Biology majors are driven to know more about living beings, such as humans, animals, and plants. They develop skills of detailed observation and analysis of information aimed at direct application in real-world settings, such as medical, research, or educational contexts.
  • STEM courses are fast-paced and cover a large amount of detailed material in a relatively short time. Required Math and Science courses must be taken in sequence. Non-major courses equip STEM majors with outside angles to observe and understand the world around them.
  • This degree requires on-campus classes, but some courses can be completed online.
  • GHC’s Biology degree is a good first step toward a bachelor’s degree in a life science field. Careers in medicine (non-nursing) or research often require a graduate degree.
