Biological Sciences

Curriculum SCI.BIS.AS (U230A26)

Biological Science majors may find careers available in biological research, teaching, state and federal government departments, such as environmental protection agencies, park services, departments of natural resources or in private industries, such as forest products, agriculture and food products.

Students planning to major in Biological Sciences must be ready to take RHT 101◊, MAT 111◊ and have had at least one unit of high school Biology and one unit of high school Chemistry. Students meeting these qualifications may then take the following sequence of Science and Mathematics courses along with the appropriate general education courses.


Semester One			Credit Hours
#	CHM 140◊	General Chemistry I		5
#	MAT 131◊	Calculus & Analytic Geometryor
#	MAT 170◊	Elementary Statistics		3-5
		General education		6
				14-16

Semester Two

#	BIS 150◊	Principles of Biology I	4
#	CHM 141◊	General Chemistry II	5
		General education	7
			16

Semester Three

#	CHM 234◊	Organic Chemistry I²	5
#	PHY 101◊	General Physics (Mechanics, Heat & Sound)	5
		General education	6
			16

Semester Four

#	PHY 102◊	General Physics (Elect., Magnetism, Optics & Modern Physics)	5
		General education and/or electives	11
			16

Suggested additional electives:

#	BIS 151◊	Principles of Biology II¹or
#	BIS 205◊	Field Ecology¹	3-4
#	CHM 235◊	Organic Chemistry II²	5

(Select courses that meet the BS requirements of your transfer college.)

General education requirements: AS degree	40-41
Biological Sciences courses or other electives for AS degree	23-24

See BIS course descriptions and IAI codes.

NOTE: MAT 111◊ is strongly recommended and cannot be used to fulfill the general education requirement. MAT 110◊ and MAT 114◊ can be taken in place of MAT 111◊.

¹Course selection should be coordinated with major area of interest.

²Recommend completion of CHM 234◊ and CHM 235◊ sequence at Triton.
