Biology Department FAQ

Can I major in Biology?
Students interested in Biology should register as Natural Science majors (NSCI). In addition to Bio 1 & 2, Botany, Zoology and Microbiology will fulfill NSCI laboratory science requirements and assist the student who wishes to transfer to another institution to pursue biology.

Does Delaware County Community College offer Microbiology?
The College offers a 4 credit Microbiology course in the Fall, Spring and Summer sessions. The course is designed for students in the Natural Science and Science for the Health Professions (HSCI) curricula.

Should I major in Natural Science (NSCI) or Science for the Health Professions (HSCI)?
The choice of a major depends on the requirements of the transfer institution you plan to attend. Compare the requirements of your transfer Institution with our NSCI and HSCI curricula.

Will Anatomy and Physiology (Bio 117 & 118) count toward an Associates Degree in Natural Science (NSCI)?
No, Bio 117 & 118 are designed for students in Allied Health fields, not Natural Science. Both courses will apply to the Science for the Health Professions curriculum.
