The AS degree in Biological Sciences provides a strong foundation for transfer to a 4 year university in order to complete a BS in Biology or related fields. It may also provide appropriate training for employment in biological laboratories, museums, and/or educational outreach. Students may petition to use IGETC for STEM majors in place of our local GE requirements. Students must complete all required core courses for a total of 39 units. Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, students will be able to describe and demonstrate correct use of laboratory equipment, be well-prepared for upper-division biology courses, and be well-qualified as transfer students to a 4 year university biology program.
