AS Biology<br />
The Biology (BIOL) program is primarily designed for students who intend to transfer into any biology-related track<br />
at a four-year college or university or for students considering transfer to a nursing or pre-medical program. The<br />
curriculum is organized so that courses will readily transfer to the UC and CSU system. The program gives students<br />
the necessary biology major transfer credits but is flexible enough to let students choose and integrate informal<br />
areas of emphasis such as a premedical curriculum, cell and molecular biology, organismal biology and resource and<br />
environmental biology into an individualized and varied lower division biology program.<br />
