Students who complete this degree will be guaranteed admission with Junior status to the California State University system, although not a particular campus or major. The Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer Degree may also be appropriate for all students who want to pursue a career in the life sciences and allied health professions such as nursing, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. Students will apply fundamental concepts of biology and relate them to mathematics, physics and chemistry. These concepts addressed in the Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer Degree will prepare students to enter fields such as genetic engineering, forensics, biochemistry, veterinary medicine, pathology, botany, zoology, marine biology, forestry, microbiology, conservation biology, ecology, environmental studies, and bioinformatics. The biological sciences are a leading field contributing to major discoveries that directly affect society and individuals. Program Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to: • Explain the fundamental principles of biology. • Apply the scientific method to various fields in biology and to major issues impacting society. The Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer Degree will be awarded upon: (1) Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including completion of: (A) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (IGETC for STEM) pattern. (B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. (2) Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. o All courses in the major must be completed with a grade of \"C\" or better or a \"P\" if the course is taken on a \"Pass/No Pass\" basis (Title 5 § 55063). Note: some UC and CSU have limitations on courses taken for Pass/No Pass; please contact the campus for more details. (3) Completion of a minimum of 12 semester units in residence. Students interested in transferring and/or completing an Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer are highly encouraged to consult with a LATTC counselor for more information on university admission, identifying similar degrees at CSU and transfer requirements to other institutions.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:c464ef72-021d-4add-bb11-307fb1951e54"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"2019-08-26","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1042.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1042.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Biological Science Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses in biological sciences.
