BA Biology in Teaching at CSU East Bay

Important Announcement: All Biology courses have new rubrics and numbers starting in Fall 2015

Las Positas College has partnered with CSU East Bay to develop a seamless academic transition for students who wish to pursue a secondary school teaching career in either Biology or Chemistry. Students complete core lower-division requirements at Las Positas, then transfer to CSU East Bay for upper division coursework. There are two degree options for biology students:

  • B.A. Biology - Biology Teaching Option
  • B.A. Biochemistry - Chemistry Teaching Option

The below advising sheets list all the necessary lower division courses that need to be taken at Las Positas College in order to be prepared to transfer and start upper division coursework at CSU East Bay. Advising sheets also have contact information for discipline specific faculty advisors at CSU East Bay.
