Biology Associate in Arts (BIO-AA)
The AA Biology curriculum provides the first two years of college education leading to a baccalaureate degree in one of the biological sciences and will ensure articulation into the major at Florida SUS institutions.
Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College Natural Sciences Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
