Overview
Join a vibrant community of aspiring scientists at an affordable cost with Evergreen Valley College's Biology program.
We offer a biology degree and encourage students to obtain a transfer degree. Take human, plant, marine, or wildlife biology courses or study ecology.
We also provide field trips to many places within California.
For a complete list of our Biology Courses, please check our Catalog
NSF Scholars Program
Biology students from EVC are regularly involved with the NSF Scholars program, which provides hands-on research, mentorship, and professional development. The scholarship provides up to $10,000 in scholarships over four semesters, a paid internship and other benefits for student biologists. Contact Jennifer.Kurushima@evc.edu for details.
Field program
Our many field courses take students on adventures throughout California. They include trips to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Coastal California, Death Valley National Park (during intersession), Mount Lassen, and others. Contact Darcy.Ernst@evc.edu for details.
Nursing & Biology
Many students waiting for acceptance into a nursing program fulfill their prerequisite requirements in biology. Biology courses include Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, and Microbiology. There is also an English composition and General Psychology requirement.
See the requirements for the nursing program.
Nutrition & Dietetics
Evergreen Valley College offers a 60-unit nutrition and dietetics degree that combines biology, chemistry, anatomy, psychology, and nutrition courses. It is also a transfer degree.

Sample Degree Map
Please click the links below on an example of how you can complete your degree at Evergreen Valley College. We highly suggest you make an appointment with a counselor to discuss your education goals.
Degrees
A program map is a suggested semester-by-semester plan to help you complete the courses required for a particular degree or certificate. It is based on the major sheet for the particular degree or certificate you are interested in. It includes courses required for the major, general education and any necessary electives.
A program map is a representation of the major sheet. It includes the specific specialty courses in a major, general education courses and any necessary electives.
A major sheet includes a description of the program you are interested in, what you can expect to learn once you have completed the program (Program Learning Outcomes) and the specific specialty courses you will need to complete within a major.
Stem Tutoring
STEM Tutoring and other essential student learning services are available at either the Math and Science Resource Center (MSRC, MS-112; for Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics) or the Biology Skills and Tutoring Lab (AF-164; for Human Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, Earth Science). Please check below for hours.
Tutoring at both centers is provided by Math and Science faculty, classified professionals and student tutors. The sole purpose of STEM tutoring is to provide extra, outside classroom assistance and guidance so students will become independent learners, and to succeed.
