Biology<br />
The Biology department offers course prerequisites for various<br />
nursing programs <strong>and</strong> other allied health programs. Biology faculty<br />
serve as student advisors for the Biology associate degree <strong>and</strong><br />
can direct students to program advisors for the various allied<br />
health programs. Since, with a few exceptions, no particular course<br />
sequence needs to be followed <strong>and</strong> there is a varied selection of<br />
appropriate electives that may be chosen, students should consult<br />
with the appropriate advisor within the Biology department.<br />
An Associate of Science degree in Biology is 100% online. <strong>Student</strong>s<br />
will be required to take the <strong>Student</strong> Online Learning Orientation<br />
course (SOLO 100).<br />
First-Year Seminar Requirement<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s are required to enroll in the First-Year Seminar course,<br />
TSTC 1101, in their first semester attending TSTC unless they<br />
have completed more than 24 credit hours. Please see detailed<br />
information regarding the course <strong>and</strong> exemptions in the Advising<br />
section under First-Year Seminar course.<br />
