UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA OMAHA


BIOLOGY GUIDED PATHWAY (LATAS TO BS)
This Guided Pathway has been created to support students enrolling at Metropolitan Community College in the Liberal Arts/Academic Transfer (LATAS) Associate in Science degree program developed with specific courses for Biology with the intent to transfer to UNO and participate in the B.S. Biology degree program (120 Credit/Semester Hours).
Per UNO's Catalog and University Transfer Credit Policy, sixty-four (64) semester credit hours is the maximum allowed for transfer to most undergraduate UNO colleges from regionally accredited two-year colleges; however, UNO's College of Arts and Sciences Policy overrides this and allows STEM majors in Arts & Sciences (including Biology) to transfer sixty-seven (67) semester credit hours from accredited two-year colleges.

To maximize credit transfer, students are to strictly follow this Guided Pathway. When followed correctly, students will be able to transfer 64 Credit/Semester Hours towards the 120 required Credit Hours.
For academic advising guidance, contact the UNO Department of Biology Lead Academic Advisor, Lacey LeGrand, at llegrand@unomaha.edu or 402.554.3032.
