This pathway represents one example of how you might complete all the requirements for your degree, and assumes that you have completed at least 60 transferable credits, all A-E general education requirements completed, as well as a year of general chemistry with lab, precalculus, and the Biology course series (10 to 12 credits) for biology majors.
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.
