Where does my path start?

You will complete an Associate of Science-Transfer (AS-T) Track 1 degree at Shoreline.

Once you complete your Shoreline degree, you can transfer to a four-year school to earn a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biological Sciences.

Biological Sciences are excellent preparation for graduate studies in biology, genetics, biomedical sciences, dentistry, law, medicine and education.
