This pathway is applicable to students planning to prepare for upper-division bachelor's degree majors in Biology. This Biology MRP streamlines and facilitates preparation for upper-division coursework in Biology across the state. This document represents an agreement between the following baccalaureate institutions offering bachelor's degrees in Biology or a related field and the community and technical college system: Central Washington
University; Eastern Washington University; The Evergreen State College; University of Washington Seattle; Washington State University Pullman;
Western Washington University; Saint Martin's University; Seattle University; and Whitworth University.

Students need to make early contact with their potential transfer institutions regarding the specific course choices in each area of the agreement where options are listed (Humanities, Social Science, and Natural Science) and for electives.
Students also need to check with their potential transfer institutions regarding the requirement for overall minimum GPA, a higher
GPA in a selected subset of courses, or a specific minimum grade in one or more courses such as M ath or English. Students are responsible for researching and preparing for specific major requirements of baccalaureate institutions as early as possible prior to transferring.

1. Humanities
In order to better prepare for successful transfer, students are encouraged to consult with the institution(s) to which they wish to transfer regarding the humanities courses that best support or may be required as prerequisites to their Biology curriculum.
2. Social Sciences
In order to better prepare for successful transfer, students are encouraged to consult with the institution(s) to which they wish to transfer regarding the social science courses that best support or may be required as prerequisites to their Biology curriculum.
3. Natural Sciences
A full year sequence of General Chemistry and Majors Biology at a single college is the best preparation for the baccalaureate biology degree.
1. Elective Courses
Additional college-level credits so that total credits earned is at least 90 quarter credits. These remaining courses may include prerequisites for major courses (e.g., CHEM& 139, Math 103 and 111), additional major coursework, general education, or other university requirements.
Students should check with the transfer institution prior to taking any further biology courses beyond the one-year sequence. Some colleges require all continuing biology courses be taken at the 300 level.
