a MTH 112 can be taken to prepare for MTH 251 if the score on ALEKS Math Placement test is 59% or less. MTH 112 is not a required course for the chemistry degree.

b BI 211 is not a requirement for the Biochemistry option but it is an enforced pre-requisite for BI 314 and BI 311(beginning S07). BI 211, 212, & 213 can be taken in any order.

c Chemistry Majors are strongly encouraged to take the chemistry major's orientation course, "Careers in Chemistry", Fall term. This is a 1 credit course and graded P/N.

d See additional information for alternative analytical chemistry courses.

e Starting Fall 2015, it is strongly encouraged that the BB lectures be taken before taking the BB labs.

f As of Spring 2009, BB 495 is no longer offered and we are substituting BB 497 (1 Credit / Fall) plus BB 496 (1 Credit / Winter). As of Fall 2015 BB 493/497 is only offered Fall term and BB 494/496 is only offered Winter term.

The order of courses is suggested. For the track-two core courses (CH, MTH, PH), the order is very fairly critical because of prerequisites and the fact that most CH courses are taught only one term per year. The option courses (BI, BB) can be taken at different times than indicated, but one must be concerned with the prerequisites for BB courses and upper division BI courses and the fact that some BB and upper division BI courses are taught only one term per year.

Baccalaureate Core courses are not shown on the chart above.
