Associate of Science in Biology / Ecology

Every living and non-living thing plays a part in the ecosystem of our world. Biology dissects the vast diversity of living organisms in our world, what they are composed of, their evolution, and what issues they face, such as diseases and pathogens. Ecology is a segment of biology that studies the relationship and interactions between living organisms and their environment, such as how plastics affect bird populations, how forest fires renew plant growth, or how higher world temperatures affect polar bears.

You will receive a comprehensive exploration of our natural world. Through this program, you will have a general foundation within biology and ecology, as well as the technical knowledge to allow you to go into other related areas within these fields.

You won’t find any boring lecture halls here. At WNCC, our faculty work hard to engage and interact with our students. We find when our students are equipped with total support and the right tools, they can perform some pretty exceptional work.

We know we have the best faculty. But don’t take our word for it. Hear what our students are saying about their instructors.

The work doesn’t stop when the class is dismissed by our instructors. In fact, our instructors are passionate about the subjects they teach, so you’ll find them represented in the community quite often.
