Biological, Biomedical Sciences - Pre-Forensic Science Concentration 4014, A.S. Transfer

A Two-Year Program Leading to the A.S. Degree

This degree program is designed for students interested in a career in biology. Students may elect concentrations in medicine, biotechnology, biotechnology laboratory assistant, chiropractic, forensic science, physician assistant, physical therapy and nuclear medicine. An A.S. degree in biological, biomedical sciences or any of these concentrations is much in demand for research and teaching in universities and for research and development in biological and pharmaceutical industries, medical laboratories, state and federal governments because the graduates acquire an outstanding range of skills in problem-solving, data handling, analysis, observation, team working, communication and report writing that employers value greatly. This program has been articulated with 4-year institutions in Indiana.
