This DOES NOT replace the degree plan that you will obtain from the registrar's office. It is meant only as a guide to help you plan the courses you need to complete the major requirements. This plan assumes that your first math class will be college algebra; if you have not had this class, you may need to consult with your advisor to modify this plan for your needs. If you are interested in pursuing a career in medicine or dentistry, click here to see the appropriate plan for you.
It is very important that you take your biology and chemistry courses in the appropriate order; otherwise, you may not have the necessary prerequisites to take advanced level courses in the biology department. (For example, college algebra is required for enrollment in Chemistry 1315, and enrollment in Chemistry 1315 is required to be enrolled in Biology 1321. ) If you are unable to take these courses in the order listed below, see your advisor for help in adjusting this plan for you.
