It provides a broad, comprehensive overview of the main areas of biological science. The ability to critically think and use appropriate tools to solve biological questions will be emphasized.\n\n**In addition to the courses listed below, the following requirements must be met for completion of the AS-T  Degree in Biology:**\n\n1\\. Completion of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.\n2\\. Achievement of a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. (Some majors may require a higher GPA. Students should consult with a counselor for more information.)\n3\\. Completion of the major with a grade of “C” or better in each course or a \"P\" if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the \"P\" is equal to a \"C\" or better.\n4. Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.\n\nStudents are advised to check with the Counseling Department or Transfer Center for courses accepted into the Biology major at the CSU where they seek transfer."
