Transfer Students and the 2+2 Plan
If you have been attending another university and are considering transferring to the School of Biological Sciences, your first step should be to contact an SBS adviser. By working with an adviser, you will be assured the most direct route to completing your desired degree! For a general idea of which courses will transfer, refer to the UMKC course equivalencies web page.
The links below provide information for students working toward an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree at Community Colleges in the Kansas City metropolitan area, with the intent to earn a Bachelor's degree in Biology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Each link provides a recommended plan of study for the Freshman and Sophomore years that will lead to the A.A. or A.S. degrees. By following this plan of study, after two years at the Community College it is possible to complete a Bachelor's Degree in Biology in an additional two years.
The optimal choice of courses differs if you intend to pursue a B.S. or a B.A. degree in Biology. The expected courses for the subsequent junior and senior semesters at UMKC are also shown.
