Requirements for a second bachelor’s degree

Complete all science and math courses required for the biology degree. As for the core, a new student to 麻豆社 from another state only has to meet the legislative requirements (US/GA History and US/GA Constitution) and complete Area F for their major. They do not have to do anything else within the core. Most students do the exemption exams in the testing office to satisfy the legislative requirements

Florida Colleges

We now have a reciprocity agreement with all Florida colleges, public and private, to accept their AA degree as core areas A through E.  They still need to meet the core  area classes specific for our biology degrees. In addition, they must have taken US Government and US History at their school or they will have to take the entire class here, but if they did take it they will only have to take the GA History and GA Government tests here at 麻豆社 to satisfy the legislative requirements. Credit for BIOL 1107 and BIOL 1108 will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Currently we do accept the biology courses from Florida Gateway College as BIOL 1107 and BIOL 1108 and that will be accomplished by admissions when the students enroll. A waiver is needed for Freshman seminar.
