AA/AS in Biological and Physical Sciences

Aimed at future life scientists, this transfer degree prepares students for study in fields such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary science and biomedical research. The page describes a broad set of pathways within biology, from genetics and microbiology to ecology, conservation and forestry, and presents the degree as a structured route into the California State University system. Students complete the major courses with a C or higher, the Cal-GETC pattern, and a minimum overall CSU GPA of 2.0. The catalog lists the program length as 24 months, and federal financial aid approval is shown as in place. Prospective students can read the full course list and a suggested plan of study on the catalog page at Victor Valley College. Because requirements differ between pathways, it makes sense to talk with a counselor early and map out each term before enrolling in courses.
