Students should keep in mind that while a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Consult with a counselor for more information.\n-   A minimum of 18 semester units of major requirements completed with a grade of “C” or better or a “P” (Pass) if the course is taken on a “pass/no pass” basis.\n-   The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) with a grade of “C” or better or a “P” (Pass) if the course is taken on a “pass/no pass” basis.\n\n### Program Learning Outcomes\n\nUpon the successful completion of this program, students should be able to:\n\n1.  Demonstrate skill in scientific thinking, communication, problem solving and experimental methodology.\n2.  Discuss current scientific hypotheses of the evolutionary origins of organismal diversity.\n3.  Apply evolutionary theory and structure-function relationships, relative to interactions between biological entities and their environments, as unifying ideas across all levels of biological organization."
