General Information and Requirements Candidates entering the bachelor's programs in biology should have completed three years of high school mathematics and one year of high school chemistry to allow completion of the curriculum in a timely fashion (see Undergraduate Admission Requirements). All major course work must be completed with letter grades (CR/NC is not acceptable). A minimum grade point average of 2.0 in all course work is required to receive a degree in these programs. In order to remain enrolled in a biology course, students must be prepared to provide copies of transcripts demonstrating completion of prerequisite courses with a grade of C- or better. At least 12 units in biology must be completed at SF State. Early in the first semester, and at regular intervals thereafter, students must consult with a biology advisor to plan a program of study. Concentration in Cell and Molecular Biology Fundamental course work in allied sciences and mathematics prepares the student for advanced studies in cell and molecular biology. The program is also recommended for pre-medical students because it includes many of the courses required for admission to medical school. (For more information, see Pre-health Professions. Program Scope The Department of Biology provides undergraduate and graduate programs covering the breadth of biology. Course work ranges from introductory biology to specialized courses in broad disciplines of biology. The department has grouped courses into concentrations to help advise students of appropriate programs of study in various biology disciplines. Each concentration provides breadth of background in basic biological concepts as well as depth in the specific discipline. Students should consult with an advisor early in their program of study to design an individualized program within the concentration of interest. Research Facilities: State-of-the-Art Greenhouse, Harry D. Thiers Herbarium, Genomics and Transcriptions Analysis Center (GTAC), Molecular Genetics Laboratory (MGLab), Electron Microscope Facility, Cell and Molecular Imaging Center (CMIC), Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies, Sierra Nevada Field Campus, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, Collaborative Programs: Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental StudiesP: Opportunities for graduate and undergraduate study in marine biology are enhanced by the Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies (RTC), SF State's marine and estuarine research and teaching laboratory situated on San Francisco Bay in Marin County. RTC faculty and research scientists offer courses in marine and estuarine sciences, a Masters of Science in Marine Science, and supervise graduate student research and undergraduate independent study projects. California Academy of Sciences: The Department of Biology and the California Academy of Sciences (CAS) have instituted a program that builds on the complementary strengths of each institution to address the national and international imperative of training biologists in systematics, ecology, and conservation biology. Curators from CAS who have joined the department as research professors contribute to the teaching program, offer seminars and other courses at CAS and supervise graduate student research. The facilities and collections of the academy are available for selected students pursuing research in the biological sciences.
