This degree plan is designed to meet the needs of students who plan to major in Biology and transfer to a four-year college or university. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approves the field of study in Biology included in this degree. This degree plan will constitute a semester credit hour transfer block to any public Texas four-year college or university with a Biology Major.
Transferring students shall not be required to repeat courses transferred as part of the field of study curriculum. Completion of the field of study curriculum shall not prevent a receiving institution from requiring additional lowerdivision courses that may be necessary for specific degree programs. Because of the complexity of requirements, student must plan very carefully and work with an advisor/counselor.
