About the Program
The Biology curriculum at the College of Lake County is a two-year program leading to an Associate in Science Degree. The program offers courses that prepare students for continued study toward a baccalaureate degree in Botany, Ecology, Microbiology, Wildlife Management or Zoology.
Non-biology majors take biology courses to fulfill general education course requirements for transfer degrees or to fulfill requirements for health care programs.
Career Opportunities
Majoring in Biology can lead to a wide variety of interesting and lucrative careers.
Why study at CLC?
When you take an introductory biology class at many colleges and universities, it is in a large lecture hall that holds 100 or more students. There is little opportunity to interact directly with the professor who is often more interested in research than teaching the next generation of biologists. At CLC, the professors are teachers first and dedicated to helping our students learn and understand the material. Most importantly, they cover the same material and have the same expectations as professors at four-year schools while providing the personal attention and feedback available only in small class sizes.
