Pre-Health Science: Biological Sciences Emphasis

The Associates of Arts Degree in Pre-Health Science: Biology is designed to prepare students for transfer into the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Art degree – Major in Biological Science program on the Chalon campus.

For AA students to transfer to a Baccalaureate Biological Science program after their first year, the students must have:

• A 3.0 cumulative GPA and
• A 2.7 science GPA and
• Have satisfactorily completed ENG 1A

AA students who qualify to transfer to Chalon after their first year will fulfill the Biological Science with a BS or BA degree at Chalon in an additional four years. Students who transfer prior to receiving their AA degree cannot request it retroactively.

AA students who don’t qualify to transfer to Chalon after their first year, will stay at Doheny for a second year to take more science courses, and/or complete an AA Pre-Health Science Biological Science degree. After two years, if the student still cannot meet the GPA requirement as stated above, she needs to discuss with her advisor and AA dean about alternative options.
