General Information:

This guide outlines how the Community College of Philadelphia’s Associate in Science (A.S.) in Biology transfers to the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science in Biology (B.S) at Temple University. This guide reflects the requirement for the A.S. in Biology in the Spring 2018 and 2018-2019 College catalogs. The A.S. in Biology qualifies for the Temple University Dual Admissions Agreement.
