Biological Sciences, Systems Physiology Concentration with Chemistry Minor, BS (2020-2021) (AS-T Biology)

The AS-T in Biology guarantees completion of 60 transferable units and the STEM lower division core GE satisfied except one course in GE Area C and one course in GE Area D. This transfer degree will meet the BIOL 30, 31; CHEM 1A, 1B; PHYS 2A, 2B; and MATH 30 requirements at SJSU. Below is the path to the BS Biological Science, Concentration Systems Physiology degree in 60 semester units with the transfer AS-T Biology degree. Students in this major must complete all lower division courses in the Requirements of the Major with a “C- or better” to graduate. Any course that is prerequisite to any Chemistry course must be passed with a grade of “C or better.”

This roadmap has an approved P.E. waiver.

Roadmap Notes

A minimum of 40 upper division units must be completed for degree. This roadmap is a sample pathway. Check with a major advisor regarding the most appropriate course sequence for you. 60 units minimum will be transferred with this degree, however up to 70 transfer units can be applied to the lower division and lower division free electives if articulated.
