CSUGE for STEM and IGETC for STEM are the only approved general education patterns for this degree.

Prospective transfer students should complete the general education and lower division requirements of the school to which they will be transferring (CSUGE Breadth for STEM or IGETC for STEM).  See a counselor for details. Information is also available at www.assist.org.

A student receiving a degree in this field will be able to:

• Demonstrate the processes and skills associated with biological science research, including an integrated working knowledge of instrumentation and biological processes.
• Demonstrate critical thinking skills through analysis of experimental data then drawing conclusions and making predictions based on evidence.
• Communicate biological ideas and processes clearly and precisely, both orally and in writing.
