Note: *This map assumes student has MATH 113 and MATH 132 placements in Mathematics and COMP 150 placement in Composition. Students with different placements must work with advisors to adjust the map.
Note: **Of the 3 required Upper Division Biology Electives courses, 2 must have labs. Any 300- or 400-level course with the BIO prefix counts towards this requirement, except for BIO 480 and BA 499 .
Note: This map is a suggested course sequence. Please consult your academic advisor for alternate sequencing.
Note: Students must earn 30 credits by the end of Year 1 to be classified as a Sophomore, 60 credits by the end of Year 2 to be a Junior, and 90 credits by the end of Year 3 to be a Senior. To meet these thresholds, some students may need to take additional credits beyond the suggested course sequence.
