About the Program The Biology area of study here at HCC covers the smallest and simplest organisms (microbiology) to the largest and most complex organisms (human anatomy and physiology, zoology, botany). AWARD TYPES: Associate in Science AREA OF STUDY: Science, Technology, Engineering & Math
The book covers basic introductory cell biology concepts such as metabolism, and cell division and then does a system-by-system discussion of the human body. The book includes a glossary in each chapter and an overall index.
An instructor using this textbook for a Human Biology class but desiring a more expansive biological purview that would encompass ev-devo, ecological, and genomic perspectives would have to provide this content on their own.
The HCC Bookstores are open to assist students that want to come on campus and purchase their textbooks. The HCC Bookstores also has an e-commerce website (see link below) for students to place orders and have their textbooks shipped directly to them. Students are able to order online for the spring 2021 semester.

The Biology Program at Houston Community College provides a quality education that encourages students to understand and apply their knowledge in the field of biological sciences, prepares them to interpret and communicate scientific information, assist them to develop critical thinking skills, and helps them to advance into a variety of science, allied health, and general education programs.
Multiple Associate of Applied Science degrees may be earned from HCC if all AAS program requirements are met including earning at least 18 additional semester hours at HCC, 12 of which must be earned in the major program of the additional degree.
The student must complete a minimum of 18 semester hours at HCC for each additional degree. These hours may not repeat credit applied from a previous HCC degree.
Hybrid programs require students to participate in campus-based courses as part of a given program’s required curriculum. Please contact your advisor for more information about specific program requirements.
All courses required by the specific HCC program of the additional degree must be completed. A grade point average of at least 2.0 must be earned on all hours since the previous degree.
Some online courses may have face-to-face requirements for exams, laboratory sessions, and other activities. Please review your course syllabus to determine if your online course has an on-campus laboratory or examination requirement.
This textbook has been created with several goals in mind: accessibility, customization, and student engagement—all while encouraging students toward high levels of academic scholarship. Students will find that this textbook offers a strong introduction to human biology in an accessible format.

The HCC Bookstore makes every attempt to stock as many used textbooks as possible. This is accomplished by operating a daily used textbook buyback program at each Bookstore and ordering used textbooks from large National Used Textbook Wholesalers. Even with these efforts the Bookstore usually does not meet the consumer demand for used textbooks.
