students in industry-level, inquiry based laboratory activities in order to develop and strengthen their
critical thinking as well as their industry skills.
OPTION OVERVIEW
This option provides students with the technical coursework
and laboratory experience that enables them to succeed in
undergraduate biology programs. Upon graduation from BHCC,
students are able to pursue further study at four-year colleges
and universities in any number of areas including physiology,
ecology, cell biology, biotechnology, genetics, botany, zoology,
microbiology, biochemistry, wildlife conservation, or any of the
health sciences. BHCC has articulation agreements with UMass
Boston, UMass Amherst and UMass Lowell, enabling Biology
Transfer graduates to enroll in any one of these universities as
juniors, without losing credits.
CAREER OUTLOOK
This option will allow students to transfer to four-year colleges
and universities to seek a bachelor’s degree in biology. Students
planning to transfer into a pre-medical, pre-veterinary, predental,
pharmacy or chiropractic degree program should enroll
in this program.
