Program Description Biology helps develop an informed sense of how humans may individually and collectively continue to fit into the complex ecology of the planet. Biologists are employed in research, teaching, administration, service, and sales in governmental agencies, educational institutions, private business, and industry. Along with chemistry, biology is also a degree that should be considered by a student whose career goal is a doctorate-level credential in a health-related field. An undergraduate degree in biology can be a stepping stone to a career as a doctor, dentist, orthodontist, or veterinarian, for example. Students should keep in mind that to gain entrance to a doctorate-level program, completing the required prerequisites is generally more important than type of degree obtained. With that in mind, students should study the prerequisites of the programs to which they plan to apply, and work closely with advisors to make sure that those prerequisites are satisfied. At Tacoma Community College, science and engineering students enjoy: Small classes Faculty excited about teaching Labs taught by the same faculty member as the lecture Extensive interaction with the faculty Well-equipped labs Economical tuition
