The general biology sequences of BIOL 1406, 1407 (majors) and 1408, 1409 (non-majors) fulfill the requirements for students seeking the AA, AS, or AAT degree. The anatomy and physiology sequence of BIOL 2401, 2402 is required by the following health disciplines: Nursing, Physical Therapy Assistant, Human Performance, and Medical Laboratory Technology Programs at NTCC. Additionally, BIOL 1322, Nutrition and Diet Therapy, BIOL 2420, Microbiology for Non-Science majors, BIOL 2421, Microbiology for Science majors, and BIOL 2316, Genetics, are required or are electives for certain health disciplines or are taken by those students pursuing pre-professional studies. BIOL 2404, Survey of Anatomy and Physiology, is an important foundation for the funeral science and social work programs of study. The Academic Cooperative in Biology courses, BIOL 2289 and BIOL 2389, integrate on-campus study with hands-on research experience in the biological sciences. In 2007, the department became an integral component of the NTCC Honors Program with the development of the BIOL 1406/HIST 2301 Interdisciplinary Seminar.
