2025-2026 Catalog
Biological Sciences, Developmental Biology Emphasis, B.S. Four-Year Course Plan
|
|
|
All General Education course options can be found here. All Natural Science students must complete their first chemistry and math course with a C- or better prior to the start of their third semester. More information on Early Progress Policy can be found here .
Please Note: This four-year plan serves as a general guide and assumes that all prerequisite requirements have been met prior to each course. Students may need to complete additional prerequisite coursework (MATH 005 , CHEM 001 , WRI 001 ) based on placement results or prior preparation. Be sure to consult with your academic advisor to create a personalized plan that aligns with your individual progress and goals.
