Biostatistics, B.S. (STLCC 2+SLU)
This program plan is part of the formal 2+SLU transfer agreement between St. Louis Community College and Saint Louis University.
Students in this program will satisfy the degree requirements published in the 2023-2024 academic catalog at St. Louis Community College and the 2025-2026 academic catalog at SLU. Students must complete all courses and transfer to SLU by the fall 2028 semester.
Students who plan to transfer to SLU after fall 2028 should contact a transfer admission counselor to explore options.
Students who have been following a program plan from a previous year's academic catalog can reference their older program plan version by reviewing our previous catalogs.
For additional information see the catalog entry for:
- Students must complete all the courses outlined on the program plan unless SLU approves an exception.
- Students must complete an application for admission.
- Students may be subject to admission review under circumstances outlined in the admission policies.
- Students must present a 2.50 cumulative GPA at the time of transfer to SLU.
- Important Note: This program is designed for fall entry on even years due to foundational BST courses that are offered every other year. Students wishing to start at SLU on an odd year should consider transferring to SLU the spring semester of the odd year.
Program Plans provide a guided pathway for students to earn an associate degree at their home institution and a bachelor's degree at Saint Louis University. Students may change the sequence in which they complete courses at their home institution. Students who complete a course that is not part of this Program Plan are encouraged to contact SLU to see if the course could be substituted.
