The Associate in Science in Biology for Transfer degree (AS-T in Biology) is a 60 unit program which provides students the lower division coursework required for transfer to a CSU institution for the major in Biology. Students must complete the following requirements: 1. A minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU-transferable units 2. The California State University-General Education-Breadth pattern (CSU GE-Breadth); OR the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern. 3.
