Sample Course Schedules
             
  
The following represents a recommended schedule for completing course requirements for the major in Biology.  Its purpose is to demonstrate an appropriate sequence in which courses might be taken.  1/2 courses in Biology can be taken at any time, including J-term. 

   Courses that appear in parentheses are required for those intending to apply to Medical School.  It is strongly recommended that biology majors complete chemistry requirements by the sophomore year, and physics by the junior year (if intending to apply to medical school).
