Biology/Pre-Medical Track

The recommended four-year plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees within four years. Students must meet with their Major Advisor to develop a more individualized plan to complete their degree.  This plan assumes that no developmental courses are required.  If developmental courses are needed, students may have additional requirements to fulfill which are not listed in the plan and may extend degree completion.

NOTE: This recommended Four-Year Plan is applicable to students admitted into the major during the 2022-2023 academic year.

# Biology electives with Lab or Field experiences are up to to 5.5 credits. One of the four required Biology electives must include Lab or Field experience. Only one can be 200 level.  BIOL 214/214L and BIOL 216/216L-Anatomy and Physiology I and II count as one elective. Students may also opt to choose BIOL 311/311L-Microbiology as an elective as that is a requirement for many professional programs. Some graduate professional programs require 2 psychology courses including PSYC 101 Intro to Psychology. Students are advised to speak to their advisor while planning their course of study so that those particular requirements can be met. 

^ This course requires a CLM test for placement purposes.

+ Depending on the Biology electives selected, students may need to take a 5th Elective to reach 128 credits.
