This pathway is one example of how you might complete all the requirements for your degree, assuming that you enter CSUMB prepared to take CHEM 110: Chemistry I, CHEM 110L: Chemistry I Lab, and MATH 150: Calculus I in the fall of your freshmen year.  Both courses have placement exams that can be admininstered during orientation weekend or move-in weekend, but it is recommended that students take the placement exam while attending orientation so that they can finalize their course schedule as early as possible. 
 

Your own unique situation and a number of other factors may mean your actual pathway is different. Many students need one or more additional MATH courses before taking a college-level calculus course; many need an extra writing or chemistry course depending on their placement exams.   Don't worry - there is flexibility built into the curriculum., but taking summer courses can help compensate for extra prequisite courses needed during the freshman year.  You'll want to work closely with an advisor and use the academic advisement report to take all that into account and develop a pathway that's customized for you.
