It is not a requirement for transfer but may give students an admission advantage at some CSU campuses. Not all CSU campuses accept this degree as fulfillment of lower-di\u0002vision major requirements. Students should meet with a counselor to determine if this degree is a good option for them. Informa\u0002tion on which CSU campuses accept this degree can be found at https://adegreewithaguarantee.com/ PROGRAM INFORMATION Associate of Science in Biology for Transfer Degree (AS-T in Biology) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree in Biology at a CSU campus. Students completing the AS-T degree in Biology are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not necessarily to a particular CSU campus or major of their choice. Students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements as this AS-T in Biology may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a college or university that is not part of the CSU system. Students can only attain an AS-T degree in Biology if they complete the 33 units required for the major along with the IGETC for STEM or CSU GE for STEM Plan and electives. To complete the degree, students must fulfill the following Associate Degree for Transfer requirements (pursuant to SB1440): • Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to a California State University. • The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education - Breadth Requirements. • A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. • Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. • A grade of \"C\" or better (or \"P\" if the course is taken on a pass/ no pass basis) in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. Note: Complete either the CSU GE for STEM or IGETC for STEM general education pattern. Effective Fall 2017, CSU GE Areas A1, A2, A3 and B4 must be completed with a grade of \"C-\" or higher per CSU EO 1100. All courses applied toward IGETC must be completed with a \"C\" or higher per the IGETC Standards. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this program, students will: • Demonstrate knowledge of the structure and function of living things from the molecular to the organismal level. • Demonstrate conceptual understanding of fundamental bio\u0002logical processes of molecular, cellular, and organismal biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology. • Demonstrate proficiency in biological tools and techniques, including micros.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:4814928e-a408-45de-8963-2a3dc75a1f28"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"2018-02-01","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.
