Note that MOST of the required classes are offered ONLY once a year (either Fall or Spring semester) so they must be taken in sequence.

1

MATH 141Q may be satisfied by taking the two-course sequence MATH 130 and MATH 131Q.

2

Students must select at least one class from five of the six different Knowledge of Human Cultures and the Natural World areas; A, B, H, S, L, and P designations (FIVE classes total); and ONE class from among the following five different Personal and Social Responsibility areas; R, E, W, D, J designations).

3

Students must select ONE Junior Seminar from among the following five areas: R, E, W, D, and J.

4

Students may choose to reverse PHYS/BIOL sequence and take BIOL first.

5

In-depth CHEM requirement (Choose ONE from CHEM 302, CHEM 303, CHEM 305, CHEM 306, CHEM 307, or CHEM 308).
