Abstract
In the year 2010, 2,477 biology majors*, prospective solvers of some of society’s greatest challenges and mysteries, entered Iowa’s public universities. Of that total, 72.1 percent (1,787) were incoming freshmen, and 27.9 percent (690) were transfer students who had already completed college coursework or degree programs - chiefly from Iowa’s community colleges. The number of students transferring to Iowa’s public universities to study in the biological sciences is on a steady annual increase, growing by 111 students from 2009 to 2010. Common preparatory pathways for transferring to university biology programs from community colleges continue to grow as well.
