The purpose of the AS-T degree is to allow the student who plans to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in biology the opportunity to make substantial progress toward fulfilling major requirements while completing at least half of the liberal arts, or general requirements. Completing the AS-T degree will prepare students for upper division study; it does not guarantee students admission to the major. The college recommends that the student identify one or two potential transfer schools and then contact qualified program advisors at those institutions as early as possible to obtain specific, course-by-course advice.
