Fall/Spring Course Offerings: Please consult with your advisor to ensure the courses are offered in the semester you intend to take them.
In Major GPA: Courses will be used for computing the “in major” GPA.
Undergraduate Research: All 8 credits are not taken in one semester. They are often split among different semesters.
At least 6 credit hours must be at the 3000 or 4000 level; at least 3 credit hours must be at the 4000 level.
BIOL 2124 Cell and Molecular Biology for Engineers is not an accepted prerequisite for BIOL courses that require BIOL 2134 Cell Function and Differentiation. Students wishing to take BIOL courses from the restricted electives list should take BIOL 2134 Cell Function and Differentiation. Please consult your advisor as to which course is right for you.
Some courses on this checksheet have prerequisites. Students are required to double check course prerequisites and equivalents. Please see your advisor or consult the Undergraduate Course Catalog for more information.
Students who did not successfully complete at least two years of a single foreign, classical, or sign language during high school must successfully complete six semester hours of a single foreign, classical, or sign language at the college level. Courses taken to meet this requirement do not count toward the hours required for graduation. Please consult the Undergraduate Catalog for details.
Upon having attempted 72 credit hours, the student will have completed NANO 1015 Introduction to Nanoscience-NANO 1016 Introduction to Nanoscience, MATH 1025 Elementary Calculus-MATH 1026 Elementary Calculus, CHEM 1035 General Chemistry-CHEM 1036 General Chemistry, CHEM 1045 General Chemistry Laboratory-CHEM 1046 General Chemistry Laboratory, PHYS 2205 General Physics-PHYS 2206 General Physics, PHYS 2215 General Physics Laboratory-PHYS 2216 General Physics Laboratory, BIOL 1105 Principles of Biology, BIOL 1106 Principles of Biology, BIOL 1115 Principles of Biology Laboratory, & BIOL 1116 Principles of Biology Laboratory
