AA/AS in Biology, General

Fresno City College offers this associate degree in biology. The program map lists the major requirements separately from general education, so students can see how the two parts fit together. This makes it easier to judge the total workload before committing to a schedule. The pathway is more flexible than the transfer degree, letting students pair core biology courses with other classes suited to their goals while practicing scientific reasoning and data interpretation. A counselor can help students tailor the plan to their own career or transfer goals. Students meet the core biology requirements for CSU or UC transfer, though without the guarantees of the transfer degree. Students who plan to continue at a four-year school should discuss transfer options early, since each university sets its own course expectations and electives can be chosen with that destination in mind.
