GENERAL BIOLOGY TRACK
On this page and other pages containing recommendations regarding suggested
semester schedules it is important to realize that it is possible to vary from such a
schedule. For example,a BIO Major is able to take Advanced Level BIO courses at the same time as this student is finishing the Introductory Biology courses - as long
as pre- and co-requisites for these advanced courses have been met.

Biology Majors following a track other than General Biology should check the suggested semester schedule for that track:

MATH ASSESSMENT LEVEL 4:
Freshman
Year
(U1)
Fall Semester:
Calculus A (MAT 125) 
General Chemistry 1 (CHE 131)  General Chemistry Lab 1 (CHE 133) 
Spring Semester:
Calculus B (MAT 126) 
General Chemistry 2 (CHE 132) 
General Chemistry Lab 2 (CHE 134) 
Introductory Biology Lecture (BIO 201 or 202) 

Sophomore
Year
(U2)

Fall Semester:
Organic Chemistry 1 (CHE 321) 
Introductory Biology Lecture (BIO 201 or 202)
Introductory Biology Lab 1 (BIO 204)          Statistics (AMS 110) ** 

Spring Semester:
Organic Chemistry 2 (CHE 322 or 326)  
Introductory Biology Lecture (BIO 203)                      Introductory Biology Lab 2 (BIO 205 or 207) 


Junior
Year
(U3)

Fall Semester:
Physics 1/Physics Lab 1 (PHY 121/123)          Organic Chemistry Lab (CHE 327) 
Advanced Biology Lecture *

Spring Semester:
Physics 2/Physics Lab 2 (PHY 122/124) 
Advanced Biology Lecture *
Advanced Biology Lab 1

At the end of the Junior Year, students should take any MCAT, GRE, etc. needed

Senior
Year
(U4)

Fall Semester:
Advanced Biology Lecture *
Advanced Biology Lab 2 *

Spring Semester:
Advanced Biology Lecture *
Advanced Biology Lecture *


 

* The Upper Division Biology courses needed, will depend in part on the Biology Track chosen by the student
** Although Statistics can be taken whenever it fits into schedule it is recommended to take this concurrently with BIO 204

NOTE 1: The suggested semester schedule above only contains Biology Major Requirements. For General Education Requirements please contact Academic and Pre-Professional Advising.

NOTE 2: It is assumed that Biology Majors following this suggested semester schedule are able to start with CALCULUS A (i.e., MAT 125) in the first semester of their Freshman Year. This means that these student scored no less than 4 (http://assess.math.sunysb.edu/score-table.htmlon the Math Assessment Exam.
