BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
- Majors include: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Biological Sciences; Cell Biology; Evolution, Ecology and Biodiversity; Genetics and Genomics; Marine and Coastal Science with a focus in Marine Ecology and Organismal Biology; Molecular and Medical Microbiology; Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior; Plant Biology; and Systems and Synthetic Biology
- Requires overall transferable GPA 3.20
Students must complete the following courses and maintain a 2.50 GPA in each of the following three series.
| UCD Courses | SRJC Courses |

Additional Recommendation:
It is strongly recommended that students complete the following Physics and Chemistry courses. Completion of these courses will help the student move more efficiently toward graduation. Courses must be taken for a letter grade, with no grade less than “C”. These courses are not assessed as part of a College of Biological Sciences major course group GPA.

Organic Chemistry 8A Organic Chemistry 8B OR Organic Chemistry 118A Organic Chemistry 118B Organic Chemistry 118C |
Chemistry 8 OR Chemistry 12A Chemistry 12B |
- Biochemistry and Molecular Biology majors must complete Organic Chemistry 118A/B/C rather than 8A/B.
- Marine and Coastal Science majors with a focus in Marine Ecology and Organismal Biology are encouraged to complete Organic Chemistry 8A/B; however, students may substitute Chemistry 118A/B/C.
- Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior majors are strongly encouraged to complete the physics series prior to transfer.
