@ Requirements so marked should be completed within the first 53 credits of study (i.e., before Junior status). Exceptions will be made for transfer students.
* These are required support courses which may also be used to satisfy the indicated Distribution requirements. A student may choose to fulfill Distribution
requirements with courses other than the ones listed, but these listed courses must still be taken.
** Electives within the major are to be chosen from 300 to 400 level courses, exclusive of BIO 302T, 304, 324 and 328. A maximum 4 credits from BIO 407,
408N, 416, 418, 420 or 422 may be used to fulfill one BIO Elective; additional credits will count as Free Electives. Secondary Education minors must select
BIO 320, (General Ecology), and one course in Geological Science.
% The sequence can be chosen from PHS 211A and 212A,College Physics I and II or Physics 221 and 222, General Physics with Calculus I and II.
$ This elective must be chosen from the following courses: CHE 321 Quantitative Analysis; CHE 341 Physical Chemistry I; CHE 342 Physical Chemistry II;
CHE 420 Instrumental Analysis for Clinical Chemists; CSC 200 Survey of Computer Science; CSC 201J Software Design and Programming; MAT 221
Calculus II.
Note: If a course is used to satisfy two or more requirements (for example, a support course and a distribution elective), the credits are counted in only one place.
Using a course to satisfy more than one requirement does not reduce the credit total required for graduation.
Total credits for graduation: 126 Effective: 9/04
