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

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

Note: Students must complete 30 credits by the end of the first year to be classified as a Sophomore, 60 credits by the end of the second year to be classified as a Junior, and 90 credits by the end of the third year to be classified as a Senior. This may require completion of additional free electives in particular years to supplement the suggested course sequence.

** BIO 496 and BIO 497 need to be taken in consecutive semesters. BIO 496 should be taken during the Spring Junior Year for students that are interested in Environmental and Organismal Biology Concentration. Students in the Cellular and Molecular Biology Concentration would take BIO 496 during the Fall Senior Year.
