For Biology Majors with a MATH ASSESSMENT LEVEL of 4

		INTERDISCIPLINARY/GENERAL BIOLOGY SPECIALIZATION 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 specialization other than Interdisciplinary/General Biology should check the suggested semester schedule for that track: Developmental Genetics Specialization Ecology and Evolution Specialization  Environmental Biology Specialization  Neuroscience Specialization  Quantitative Biology and Bioinformatics Specialization  BIO/Bioengineering Specialization BIO/CLS Double Major

* The Upper Division Biology courses needed, will depend in part on the Biology Specilaization 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 Transfer 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.html) on the Math Assessment Exam.

NOTE 3: An updated Chemistry sequence (CHE 151, 331, 332) starts in Fall 2013. It is recommended for students who score 4 or 5 in AP Chemistry or who demonstrated satisfactory performance on the summer chemistry placement exam. Students taking this course (CHE 151) will finish General Chemistry in ONE semester and take the Organic Chemistry sequence (CHE 331, 332) in the U1 Spring and U2 Fall semesters. For further details see the course description for CHE 151 in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
