Helping you get there faster

The Associate of Arts (A.A.) in Biological Sciences degree at Cleveland University-Kansas City (CUKC) offers accelerated health sciences and general education coursework students can complete in less than two years. CUKC offers courses online, on-ground, or as a hybrid. The degree requires a minimum of 60 credit hours of post‐secondary coursework. Students are required to complete a minimum of 15 credit hours at Cleveland University-Kansas City.

The challenging course load will prepare you to move into a rigorous professional health sciences curriculum, including our Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree program, or your credits can be transferred to other institutions of higher learning in a variety of health-related fields, such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, radiology, and pharmacy, to name a few.

You won’t find healthcare education that’s more versatile, flexible, or practical.

The admissions requirements for the CUKC A.A. in Biological Sciences include:

  • An official high school transcript or a copy of a high school diploma or GED.
