Program Pathways

The goal of the Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer program at Fresno City College is to award students with an associate degree, and provide them with special benefits/guarantees upon transfer to a CSU baccalaureate program in Biology. This degree may also prepare students to transfer into a UC baccalaureate program in Biology. To earn the Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer, students must complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: (A) The California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) requirements. (B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. (2) Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0.” ADTs also require that students must earn a C (or 'P') or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. Local graduation requirements are not required for the transfer degree. Please speak with a transfer counselor for more information about the benefits of the Associate of Science in Biology for Transfer and the Associate of Science degree.
