The following tables list several example schedules for students interested in majoring in Biology. The first example lists major and general education courses for a typical Biology major, the second example lists courses for a Biology major interested in studying abroad at Glasgow, Scotland, and the third example lists recommended courses for a Biology major interested in attending MedSchool.
These examples and just that -- examples. They are not meant to be set in stone. Students can re-arrange when courses and electives are taken as necessary, including taking many BIO300+ courses in the Winter Term.
