BIO201 General Biology I /BIO211 Gen Bio 1 Lab and BIO202 General Biology II /BIO212 Gen Bio 2 Lab must be taken in sequence. A minimum grade of C- is required in BIO201 General Biology I and BIO202 General Biology II .

2

A minimum grade of C- in BIO320 Genetics is required to advance to most upper-division biology courses (300 and above).

3

A minimum grade of C- is required to advance from CHE201 General Chemistry I to CHE202 General Chemistry II and from CHE202 General Chemistry II to CHE318 Organic Chemistry I .

Additional considerations for admission to graduate programs in biology: It is important that students interested in graduate study be able to demonstrate undergraduate research experience. You should begin to explore research options during your sophomore year.
