Note: *This map assumes student has MATH 113  and MATH 132  placement in Mathematics and COMP 150  placement in Composition. Students with different placements must work with advisors to adjust the map.

Note: **At least 3 of the 5 content area courses must include a lab.  Student must complete at least 1 course from each content area (Cell Biology & Genetics, Ecology, and Organismal Biology).  BIO 304  and BIO 382  are only offered during the Summer and may be selected as content area choice courses.  See Integrative Biology Major  for details.

Note: ***BIO 496  and BIO 497  need to be taken in consecutive semesters. This sequence may also be taken between the Spring Junior Year and Fall Senior year. 

Note: This map is a suggested course sequence. Please consult your academic advisor for alternate sequencing.

Note: Course choices may affect the number of free electives needed. In addition to major and LAC requirements, complete enough free electives to reach at least 120 total credits, including a minimum of 36 upper-division (300- and 400-level) credits.

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.
