The Associate in Biology Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Related Program degree is intended to prepare students to transfer to Washington’s public four-year colleges and universities and many private colleges with junior standing and the majority of the prerequisites for a Biology major completed.

Selecting and planning courses with a science advisor is strongly recommended to ensure a seamless transition to a Biology major program at a specific university or four-year college. Students are encouraged to check with the transfer institution early in their decision process to confirm degree requirements of baccalaureate college of choice.

Notes on Application to a University or College

• Admission application deadlines vary; students must meet the deadline for the university or universities to which they plan to apply for transfer admission.
