About our Biology Program
The Associate of Science in Biology is part of the transfer agreement with ENMU-Portales. This degree provides the foundations needed for the completion of a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at a four-year institution. Coursework is broad enough that students may specialize in premedical studies, ecology, biotechnology, or secondary education with a science teaching emphasis. Please work with an advisor to ensure maximum transferability to the four-year institution of your choosing.
