Biology is the natural science concerned with the study of all living organisms, their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution. Gsquared is a co-admissions partnership between University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) and Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC). GTCC offers the first two years of biology courses and courses in other disciplines such as chemistry, mathematics and physics for students to complete the Associate of Science degree and transfer to UNCG to complete a Bachelor of Science in Biology.
Upon successful completion of this degree, graduates will be able to:
- Apply strategies to acquire new information (concepts and perspectives) in a variety of academic disciplines.
- Analyze academic, workplace, and societal issues presented in a variety of academic disciplines using discipline-specific concepts and underlying perspectives.
- Use critical thinking (reason and creativity in problem-solving and decision-making) in a variety of academic disciplines.
- Demonstrate use of technology appropriate to a variety of academic disciplines.
