Course Sequencing for
Biology (B.S.)
with Emphasis on
Biomedical Applications

| First Fall Semester | First Spring Semester | Second Fall Semester | Second Spring Semester |

| Third Fall Semester | Third Spring Semester | Fourth Fall Semester | Fourth Spring Semester |

The sequencing of courses provided on this page is a recommendation that allows completion of the B.S. degree in Applied Biology in four years without attending classes in the summers. Other sequencing options are possible; see your advisor to develop alternate sequencing plans.
