Curriculum Guides
Curriculum Guides are suggested courses of study which may include more or less
than the RSCC degree requirements. They are not intended to represent requirements
for any particular college or university. Students should consult articulation agreements,
the catalog of the school to which they intend to transfer, and their advisor for
specific degree requirements. Actual RSCC degree requirements appear on page 93
Biology Degree: Associate of Science
The biology curriculum is designed for students planning to complete the bachelor’s
degree at a four-year institution. This program generally meets the transfer requirements
for students entering any one of the state’s major universities. Before entering
this plan of study, each student should become acquainted with any pre-transfer requirements
the receiving institution may stipulate. The current job market gives highest
priority to the graduate degree in biology.
