This pathway represents one example of how you might complete all the requirements for your degree, assuming that you transferred to CSUMB with all of your general education completed and have completed a year of general chemistry with lab, at least one semester of calculus, and a 10-credit or 12-credit sequence of Biology courses for majors, as described in the Preparation section. 

Your own unique situation and a number of other factors may mean your actual pathway is different. You'll want to work closely with an advisor or faculty mentor to develop a pathway that's customized for you.

In the meantime, use this example as a starting point for choosing classes or discussing your plans with an advisor. Your advisor is your best resource when it comes to figuring out how to fit all the courses you need, in the right sequence, into your personal academic plan.
