Advising Course Plan - Biochemistry Major - 3 Year Plan
This advising plan shows an example of working through the requirements for the major in three years. It is appropriate for students who have already completed eight units of coursework. The student’s individual academic plan will be developed in consultation with an adviser and reviewed each semester prior to registering for the next semester. This plan assumes that the student has completed four units of appropriate general education courses, two units of general chemistry (with lab), and two units of calculus w/analytical geometry prior to the first semester shown in the plan.
Courses for the major that should be completed prior to the first semester of this plan: CHEM 141P (General Chemistry I), CHEM 142P (General Chemistry II), MATH 141Q (Calculus I), and MATH 142Q (Calculus II).
