Degree completion requirements include: Completion of 60 semester units of degree-applicable courses Minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 Minimum grade of C (or P) for each course in the major Completion of CalGETC general education.\n\nAssociate Degrees for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) are open to all Coastline students. Students who do not plan on transferring to a California State University school should consult their Counselor regarding the benefits of an AA-T/AS-T degree based on their goals. Students earning an AA-T or AS-T and intending on transferring to a California State University school receive transfer admission benefits for specific majors at many California State University campuses. Visit the Transfer Information catalog page for more information.\n\n#### Program Learning Outcomes\n\n1.  Communicate biological concepts effectively in written and/or oral forms.\n2.  Find, select, and evaluate scientific information present in primary research literature, mass media, online, or other sources.\n3.  Apply appropriate physical laws and mathematical techniques to analyze various physical situations."
