²  The laboratory science sequence must be chosen from one of the disciplines listed below.  Choose only one sequence from any particular discipline.  The courses which constitute acceptable sequences within each discipline are indicated. 

  • Biological Sciences: BIO 151-152. 
  • Geological Sciences: GEO 103-104. 
  • Physical Sciences: PHY 103-104, PHY 105-205, PHY 105-206 or PHY 205-206. 
  • Chemistry: CHE 103-104, CHE 203-204, CHE 205-206. 

³  Applicable English courses are ENG 121 and all ENG courses numbered 200 or above. Modern language can be used to fulfill this requirement. Modern language literature in translation or civilization courses are not applicable. 

4 Mathematics/Science elective must be chosen from outside the discipline selected for the laboratory science sequence and must be selected from the following:  

  • MAT Courses numbered 151 or higher. 
  • BIO: Courses numbered 101 or higher. BIO 105, 106, and 121 are not applicable.
