This academic plan is an example of how students might choose to fulfill program requirements within a period of four years. After consulting with their advisors students may make other course choices which would meet the program requirements and be more suitable for them.

1. Your math placement score will determine which math course you start with. MATH 147 is the minimum requirement for the biology major, but some graduate or professional programs may require at least one semester of calculus. If you are planning to take calculus (MATH 166), then MATH 149 (Pre-calculus) should be taken instead of MATH 147.
2. Also counts as an EC General Education course
3. Other courses that satisfy the statistics requirement for the biology major include MATH 226, MATH 326, and ANSC 314. MATH 216 double-counts as a Liberal Arts course.
4. Visit the Web for the most recent list of General Education courses.
5. Three Liberal Arts courses are required. Other requirements, such as MATH 216, and some Global Perspectives and American Cultural Diversity courses, double count as Liberal Arts Courses
