Plan 11AB-BIO

(Agriculture/Crop Science, Biology, Botany, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Ecology, Microbiology, Natural Resource Management and Zoology)The following courses are recommended for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Once a transfer school is selected, students are strongly encouraged to meet with an Academic Success Advisor to determine courses at CLC which will also meet the transfer requirements. To complete any transfer degree, students should select from the general education requirements outlined on page 28.

All course prerequisites must be met. Additionally, students are required to select one course from the International/Multicultural list on page 28 to meet graduation requirements.

A grade of C or better is required for all English course requirements.

Note: This plan includes recommendations for students who plan to major in this subject at a four year school. Students who follow this plan will meet the requirements of a general transfer degree (A.A. or A.S). The CLC degree earned will be a general transfer degree, not a degree in this specific area of study.
