GETTING STARTED: Sample schedules for students starting Biology
The following sample schedules are intended to help students beginning in the Biological Sciences. Each sample is tailored to your placement in Math and your high school Chemistry preparation. To determine your placement you must have taken at least the Math Placement Exam.
You can begin your Chemistry course work with either Chem 1P or Chem 1A. The Chemistry department offers an optional self-assessment to help you decide which Chemistry course is best for you. If you're beginning with Math 2 or Math 3, we recommend you wait until Winter quarter to begin Chemistry 1A.
| Plan One is for students who place into Math 2 and choose to begin in Chem 1P. |

For continuations of all these plans as they relate to your particular major, check out the degree checklists and their associated two-year sample schedules. The best scheduling strategy is to balance your general education courses with your major's introductory requirements. In general, you will want to pair two science/math courses with one non-science course per quarter. It's important to begin your science coursework early to avoid delaying your graduation.
