This page provides the prospective biology major with a schedule of classes offered at Porterville College and designed to prepare you for transfer to a 4-year college or university.
NOTE: This schedule also provides preparation for students interested in pre-medical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary, and pre-pharmacy programs:
Preparation for the Biology Major Transfer:
| FALL SEMESTER (UNITS) | SPRING SEMESTER (UNITS) |
| Biology 105 (5) | Biology 106 (5) |
| Calculus I (4) | Calculus II (4) |
| English 101A (4) | English 101B (4) |
| Area 3 IGETC (3) | Area 4 IGETC (3) |

| Area 3 IGETC (3) | Area 4 IGETC (3) |

* Courses listed above are for biology-major transfer preparation as well as IGETC. The IGETC is a general education program which community college transfer students may use to fulfill lower-division general education requirements in either the UC or CSU system.
** If 2 years of the same foreign language have not been completed in high school, then 2 semesters of the same language must be completed to fulfill the IGETC.
*** To fulfill PC graduation requirements, one of the Area 3 or 4 courses must be an ethnic studies course, 2 credits of physical education are required (if under age 21), and Education 101 must be completed.
Note: Individual plans will vary depending on the particular 4-year institution to which the student plans to transfer.
