BIG BEND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PRE-BIOLOGY – Transfer (AS T track 1)
A degree in biological sciences opens the door to a wide variety of choices—from the health
sciences to environmental technology, from biomedical research to wildlife biology. The range of
possibilities is limited only by a student’s own interests, aptitudes, and imagination! The biology
program provides courses to meet a variety of student needs.
Since programs differ at each college, students should consult program outlines published by the
college or university to which they intend to transfer. The following recommended courses will
prepare students for most baccalaureate programs. Students should prepare their quarterly schedules with the
assistance of an advisor knowledgeable in this transfer area.
