Ds and extensive experience in their field, and all laboratory classes are taught by professors, not teaching assistants. Most lecture courses are supplemented by laboratory sections that include extensive experimentation and hands-on experience. We have recently dedicated the new Dr. Claire E. Freeman Cellular and Molecular Biology Laboratory to enhance our research opportunities. Students interested in pursuing certificate or professional degree programs in nursing, pharmacy, medical technology, radiologic science, dental hygiene, occupational therapy or other health or allied health areas and students pursuing any major within the field of biology should consider the Associate of Science degree . The curriculum is designed to be flexible enough to meet all necessary requirements for admission to any of these programs prior to transfer to the professional programs.
Biology is a science that has many specialties and offers exciting career opportunities.
The B.A. program at Peace prepares students for graduate study in the sciences or entry-level positions. Peace biology majors pursue advanced degrees and medical careers as doctors, dentists, veterinarians, physician assistants and physical therapists. Others pursue graduate training and careers in biochemistry, education, as well as molecular, marine or wildlife biology. Those who choose to enter the workforce immediately after graduation often become pharmacy and laboratory technicians, technical writers or high school biology teachers. Peace College's two-year Associate of Science degree also prepares students for successful transfer into programs such as pharmacy, nursing, radiological science and medical technology.
