Notes:

Biology AS-T uses IGETC STEM for General Education. IGETC for STEM is a separate IGETC track available for students planning to major in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. STEM students complete all courses in Area 1, 2, and 5 of IGETC. They only need two courses in Area 3 and two in Area 4.
