ACC Biology faculty and staff are committed to providing an outstanding education to all students taking biology and to helping every student succeed in biology courses. Lectures and labs are linked and taught by a single faculty member for nearly all our courses. We provide individual attention by having no more than 24 students in our lecture/lab sections and no more than 36 in our lecture-only sections. Biology faculty members are available during office hours for one-on-one help, and all our campuses have biology tutors ready to answer your questions. In addition, our faculty are happy to talk with you about your career goals and how to achieve them.
