A minimum grade of B in courses with prefixes: BIOL, MATH and COMP. Students who do not meet these minimum grade requirements can still transfer under the terms of this articulation agreement, subject to departmental review and approval. The courses encompassed in the A.S. degree from Bucks must be completed within the three years preceding matriculation at USciences. Students who take more than years to complete the A.S. degree can still transfer under this articulation agreement, subject to departmental review and approval. BS0-Biological Sciences Orientation ( cr) and BS204-Biological Sciences Colloquium ( cr) and MI0- Intro to Health and Medical Professions (cr) will be waived for students transferring to USciences after earning the A.S. in Biology (00). However, the total credits required for graduation (includes transfer credits) will remain unchanged. Graduation from USciences with a BS degree requires completion of specified courses and a total of 20-6 credit hours, depending upon the degree program. In order to enter USciences with U (junior) status and to facilitate the completion of a BS degree in two years of study at USciences, all students are strongly advised to complete more than 60 total credits of course work which is eligible for transfer to USciences. Students interested in transferring to USciences are strongly urged to contact the USciences Admission Office early in their enrollment at Bucks for advising. 2
