The Associate of Science Degree for Transfer (AS-T) in Biology is designed for students who plan to transfer to CSU as biology majors. In this program, they gain exposure to the five main topics of biology (cell, molecular, organismal biology, evolution, and ecology).

Chemistry technicians perform very important roles in analytical laboratories in academic, research, and industrial institutions. They perform duties such as assisting instructors to prepare materials for laboratory classes, assisting researchers to collect and analyze scientific data, or gathering data for product quality control in industries. At Berkeley City College we offer a two-year (four-semester) Analytical Chemistry program designed to provide individuals with the analytical skills needed for entry-level employment as laboratory technicians in those institutions. At the same time, the Analytical Chemistry program at BCC also prepares students for transfer to four-year colleges or universities.

The Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer Degree will help students develop communications, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Students will also learn how to convey ideas skillfully and effectively in writing and presentations. Students who successfully complete the AS-T in Business Administration earn specific guarantees for transfer to the CSU system: admission to a CSU with junior status and priority admission to a local CSU campus and to a program or major in business administration or a similar major. Students transferring to a CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.

This program will prepare students for a career in programming for the Internet and the World Wide Web.
