ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE IN BIOLOGY
FOR TRANSFER DEGREE
(MAJOR T)
The Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer Degree (AS-
T in Biology) prepares students for transfer to a California
State University to complete a bachelor’s degree with a
maximum of 60 units. Biology graduates at the bachelors’
level are qualified for a variety of technical positions with
government or industry, and they are also well prepared
to enter a graduate program in any other science or in
engineering. Biology majors are welcomed into professional
programs such as law, business, or medicine. Teaching at the
high school level with a bachelor’s degree or at a two-year
college with a master’s degree are additional career options for
the biology major. For the biologist who obtains the Ph.D.,
experimental research and/or teaching at the university level
or basic research in government or industry are options for
gainful employment.
Program Learning Outcomes:
1. Demonstrate basic knowledge of comparative anatomy
and comparative physiology.
2. Demonstrate basic microscopic techniques required for
all Biology fields.
3. Critically evaluate scientific research.
The transfer major listed here reflects the core lower division
requirements for many CSU and UC campuses. Students
planning to transfer should contact a counselor for more
information on program and transfer requirements. The
Biological Sciences transfer major is designed for students
who plan to earn a bachelor’s degree in Biology or a related
field. This transfer major also serves as a basis for students
who want to pursue pre-medicine, predentistry and pre-
veterinarian degrees.
