As a student at Chaffey, you'll have the opportunity
to study all areas of biology from cell
and molecular biology, modern molecular biology techniques,
through animal behavior studies, even
being in the great outdoors learning about how organisms
interact with one another.
ALI ALKHUDER: My name is Ali Alkhuder,
and I'm a biology major at Chaffey College.
I think the professors are great,
especially the biology professors
here are all really wonderful.
Every one of them that I've had are just very patient with you.
SARAH CHAMBERLAIN: Chaffey has counselors
who know a lot about STEM.
And we have a lot of faculty who advise students.
ALI ALKHUDER: Everyone's been super friendly, very helpful.
The facilities are great.
There's a lot of materials that you can
use to learn different things.
You get out of it what you put in,
and the professors are there to support you.
SARAH CHAMBERLAIN: The Zoology Lab is a very special place.
We have an incredible collection,
both on display and also stored, maintained specimens.
All of it is accessible to students.
ALI ALKHUDER: The labs are really hands-on.
If you feel like you're not really
ready to cut something open and look inside of it,
they walk you through everything.
And especially my professor, she helps us
a lot with identifying stuff inside the organism
if we're dissecting something or if we're
looking at something through a microscope,
identifying different things on the slide.
We learn a lot of lab practices that we use in the future.
SARAH CHAMBERLAIN: It's incredibly rewarding
introducing students to ideas that they
haven't thought about before.
I really hope that when they leave,
they are even more curious than when they started.
ALI ALKHUDER: Overall, I've had a wonderful experience here
at Chaffey as a biology major.
And I'm sure you will, too.
