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: **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.
