International Year One in Science and Engineering Leading to Bachelor of Arts in Biology with Concentration in Physiology (STEM)

Program Overview

International Year One

International Year One allows students to take credited SF State preparation courses alongside additional academic and English language instruction. The vast range of credit courses on offer allows first-year students to both discover new fields and further explore already strong subjects.

Once International Year One is completed, students proceed directly to their second year of degree study at SF State.

Leading to Bachelor of Science in Biology Concentration in Physiology

The Physiology program is designed to provide a firm foundation in physiology. Students interested in vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant physiology will find this concentration appropriate. The program is one commonly taken by students preparing for careers in the health professions. Please note, though, that it may be necessary to take courses in addition to those required for the concentration to satisfy the prerequisites for admission to graduate schools or health profession programs. It is strongly recommended that you speak with an advisor for assistance in creating an academic roadmap that satisfies the admission requirements for the specific health profession programs you intend to apply to.

The department does not permit multiple concentrations within the Biology degree program. All of the curricula require preliminary work in physics and chemistry because many important biological concepts are based squarely upon principles in the physical sciences. Also, each curriculum includes upper-division work in the biological sciences so that students will receive reasonable breadth and depth in their degree program. Because of the sequential arrangement of courses, students are urged to consult the descriptions for the prerequisites of all their courses.

Although course electives are listed for most of the majors, new electives are always being added to various programs. Therefore, we highly recommend that students seek advisement prior to enrolling in elective courses in their major.
