“In general, I think teaching is a very rewarding job, especially if you are passionate about the subject matter,” Feigenbaum said. “But teaching at PCC is by far my favorite place that I have ever worked, mostly because of the hard work and dedication that I see in PCC students year after year...”

What will I learn?

Biology is the study of life and living beings, including their types, growth, structure, evolution, and where and how they live. Modern biology is very broad and has many smaller areas, including the study of animals, plants, cells, genes, and other life science topics. PCC’s program will introduce you to the basics of biology and provide a foundation for you to transfer to a four-year school to earn a bachelor’s degree.
