Articulation Agreement by Major
Effective during the 16-17 Academic Year
Based on the 16-17 UC Transfer Course Agreement
To: UC Santa Barbara |From: Cerritos College
16-17 General Catalog Quarter|16-17 General Catalog Semester
================================================================================

====Biological Sciences, B.A. & B.S.====

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -- PLEASE NOTE:
This articulation agreement lists course-to-course or sequence-to-sequence
substitutions for preparation in the major. Transfer students are strongly
advised to complete as many major preparatory courses as possible prior to
enrolling at UCSB. Although completion of all major preparatory courses is not
an admissions requirement, completion, or near completion, of these courses will
help students move more efficiently toward graduation after transfer.
Please note that these course "equivalencies" do not necessarily apply to UCSB
general education. For information concerning satisfaction of UCSB general
education requirements, please refer to the GE/Breadth Articulation Agreement.

To view University of California admission eligibility requirements and UCSB

transfer admission selection criteria, please see the website:

For additional information about this major, please visit the department's
website: www.lifesci.ucsb.edu
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMISSION SELECTION CRITERIA:
To be admitted to the Pre-Biological Sciences major, all transfer students must
complete the following:
(1) One year sequence of _________________________________,
General Chemistry with laboratory with no individual
grade lower than "C";
(2) Complete sequence of major-applicable ______________________
General Biology with
__________, with no individual grade lower than "C"; and
laboratory
(3) A cumulative ____________________
GPA of 2.7 or better in the required courses listed above.

For students to graduate within two years of transferring, we strongly recommend

the completion of one year of organic chemistry with laboratory, one year of
general physics with laboratory, and one year of calculus or calculus and
statistics. Any of these courses completed with a grade lower than "C" might not
satisfy course prerequisites at UCSB.

PRE-MAJOR INFORMATION:
Students are admitted initially to Pre-Biological Sciences, not directly to the
major. Admission to the full major is contingent upon achievement of a grade
point average of 2.00 or better in pertinent courses completed at the University
of California. Because the criteria are subject to annual review and revision,
interested students should consult the department directly to obtain current
information regarding specific additional criteria for admission to the full
major. Admission to the pre-major does not guarantee admission to full major
status.
