The Biological Sciences Department at Santa Rosa Junior College focuses on quality education in biology for undergraduate students. Biology includes sub-disciplines: anatomy, biology, botany, microbiology, and physiology.

The Biological Sciences Department is as diverse and exciting as the world of biology, in terms of courses offered, our faculty and staff, as well as our facilities, which include extensive specimen collections. The department serves a diverse group of students, including students who take a single introductory course as part of their general education, those who wish to continue their education at transfer institutions as biology majors, students whose focus is preparation for a career in the allied health disciplines, and individuals who wish to pursue a personal interest in the natural world.

Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT)

The department offers courses leading to an A.A. or A.S. degree with a major in Biology or Pre-Allied Health (for allied health students).

• The department is located on the Santa Rosa campus in Baker Hall, and in Carole L. Ellis Hall (the 300 building) on the Petaluma campus. Come by Baker Hall and introduce yourself - we will show you the labs and answer questions. 
• Biological Sciences has an active independent study program. Students must have completed at least one course in the department and must have a faculty sponsor. They can participate in a research project or serve as teaching assistants in lab courses they have completed.
