Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology
For Students Transferring from SLCC
with a Completed AS Degree
Assumptions:
Transfer students should have all general education and distribution courses, GEN BIOL with lab BTEC 1010, BTEC 2010, CHEM I and II with labs, MATH 1050, MATH 2040 (or equivalent), ORGANIC-CHEM I and II with labs, MICR 2060 with lab, at least 64 credits transferred (all lower division). If more than 64 credits transfer, then the 3 credit elective listed in Semester 6 or 7 is not needed (a 3 credit upper division elective is needed). If fewer than 64 credits are transferred, then additional UVSC credits must be earned. If students take Physics with the SLCC program (10 credits total), there are still sufficient required UVSC credits to meet the 30 credit residence requirement.

Although the program is designed for the credits to be taken as shown in four semesters, some transfer students need to be aware that an additional semester may be required to meet the BS upper-division credit requirement if schedule conflicts (e.g., overlapping lectures/labs of different courses and/or scheduled internship time with an external agency/company are not efficiently completed.
Courses requiring prerequisites should not be taken until prerequisites have been met. Prerequisites cannot be taken concurrently with courses requiring the prerequisite.
