Note:

This list covers only biology and chemistry. 

 

 

Math: Students are required to take 4 credits (BA) or 8 credits (BS):


Note prerequisites for Math courses; students may have to take other courses before they can be admitted to the courses above

 

Physics:

BA: While there is no Physics requirement, students planning to attend medical school or graduate school may need to take Physics for admission to those programs.

BS: Students are required to take 8 to 9 credits.

 

Biology: Additional courses:

Three Biology electives including two with a lab or discussion component

(i.e., two courses at 4 credits)
