The program requires the following courses:
50:120:101,102 General Biology (4,4) or 50:120:127,128, 129,130 Principles of Biology and Laboratory (3,3,1,1)
50:160:115-116 Chemical Principles I,II (3,3)
50:160:125-126 Chemical Principles Laboratory I,II (1,1)
50:198:111 Programming Fundamentals (3) and 50:198:112 Software Laboratory I (1)
50:460:101 Introduction to the Earth (3)
50:640:130 Calculus for Business, Economics, and Life Sciences (3) or 50:640:121 Unified Calculus I (4) *
50:750:203-204 General Physics I,II (3,3)
50:750:205-206 General Physics Laboratory I,II (1,1)
50:960:183 Elementary Applied Statistics (3) or 50:960: 283 Introduction to Statistics I (3)
The student must elect one of the following choices:
1. three courses in biological sciences at the 200 level or above
2. three courses in chemistry at the 200 level or above
3. three courses in physics at the 200 level or above
4. mathematics: 50:640:122 and two other mathematics courses at the 200 level or above
The
choice selected shall represent the major department for purposes of
satisfying category eight of the general curricular requirements.
Finally,
the student must complete four additional courses at the 200 level or
above outside the selected area (1-4) chosen from among the natural
sciences, mathematics (including 50:640:122), computer science, and
statistics.
The student must achieve a GPA of at least 2.0 in the major.
It
is strongly recommended that a student make early plans with the
program adviser to satisfy prerequisites for any desired course beyond
the first in a field. Before the end of the second year, the student is
expected to submit for the adviser's approval his or her third- and
fourth-year list of science courses.
