Associate of Science in Biology in Seattle United States | Seattle Central College

Biology serves as the cornerstone for understanding life and all living beings, encompassing their physical makeup, chemical properties, functions, growth processes, and evolutionary changes. Our goal is to equip you with cutting-edge biological knowledge and practical lab experience in the life sciences. We tailor our courses to help you earn an A.A./A.S. degree, prepare for university transfer, or launch careers in Allied Health fields (such as nursing or dental hygiene), biotechnology, and environmental conservation. We also offer courses designed specifically for students outside science disciplines. A biology background creates pathways into medical practice, lab work, or scientific research. While not mandatory, majoring in biology proves advantageous for those pursuing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, or veterinary programs. Our two-year transfer programs allow you to complete introductory coursework at Seattle Colleges at significantly lower costs before transitioning to a four-year university with enhanced skills and self-assurance. Collaborate with transfer advisors at both Seattle Colleges and your target university to ensure success. Depending on your academic path, you can obtain an Associate of Arts (AA-DTA), Associate in Business (AB-DTA), or Associate of Science (AS) degree, choosing between Track 1 or Track 2 options.
