Revised Program, effective Fall 2015
Majors should start with and followed by and in their freshman year. Chemistry courses should also be started in the first-year in order to fulfill the requirements for the 300- and 400- level biology courses. The core biology lectures and laboratories should be completed no later than the end of the junior year. Since is a prerequisite for both and , it should be completed as soon as possible to avoid any delay in graduation. The 14 semester hours of electives allow a student to specialize or to take a variety of biology courses. Although some electives can be taken as early as the sophomore year, most will be taken in the junior and senior years. Students are strongly advised to elect the remaining core course as one of the electives.
