Curriculum 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 Geometry or
#	MAT 170	Elementary Statistics		3-5
		General education			6
14-16
Semester Two
#	CHM 141	General Chemistry II			5
	BIS 150	Principles of Biology I			4
		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 II1 or
#	BIS 205	Field Ecology1		3-4
#	CHM 235	Organic Chemistry II2			5
General education requirements: AS degree				37-41
Biological Sciences courses or other electives for AS degree				23-27

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

²Course selection should be coordinated with major area of interest.
³Recommend completion of CHM 234 and CHM 235 sequence at Triton.
