If you are interested in transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree in this major, it is critical that you meet with a TC counselor to select and plan the courses for your major. Schools vary widely in terms of the required preparation. The courses that TC requires for an associate degree in this major may be different from the requirements needed for the bachelor’s degree.
Students with intent to transfer to the UC universities should take BIOL 2201, prior to taking BIOL 2202 or BIOL 2203. BIOL 1500 and BIOL 1501 are designed for non-biology majors.
