Roadmap: B.S. in Biological Sciences for Transfers

***FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS ***

By completing the following Roadmap, you will earn a BS in Biological Sciences with a concentration in General Biology. Students should have completed a two-year Transfer with Associate’s Degree program, or a minimum of 60 units completing GE Areas A through E.

This program assumes that the student transferring from a California community college has completed the appropriate lower division prerequisites and cognates for the major (the equivalents of BIOL 1050/1150, CHEM 1100.1110, and PHYS 2100/2100) as well as GE courses equivalent to CSU Stanislaus Communication Skills (Area A), Math (Area B3), HIST 2600 (Area D1a), Physical Education (Area E2), and 15 additional units in lower-division General Education. Students desiring to go on to professional or graduate programs may require additional coursework.

Recommended Advisors: Dr. Mark Grobner (Embryology, Physiology, Pre-Health) Dr. Flora Watson (Physiology, Pre-Health) Dr. Janey Youngblom (Genetics) Dr. Jim Youngblom Dr. Steve Wolf

This Roadmap is a recommended advising map to complete the degree program in two years. Please consult your academic advisor as you develop your academic plan.

  • A course that fulfills another GE (C, D2, UD-C, UD-D) should be selected. Upper division GE courses (UD-B,C or D) cannot be taken until Junior year and cannot include courses in the biological sciences.
