1. Math 180 satisfies the LAS Quantitative Reasoning requirement and 5 hours of the LAS Natural Sciences requirement. 2. Chem 116 is offered fall semester only. 3. The remaining 8 hours of the LAS Natural Sciences requirement is satisfied by some combination of Math 181, Phys 141 and 142. The Analyzing the Natural World requirement is satisfied by Phys 141, 142, or Chem 112, 114 (or 116, 118) . 4. Chem 118 and 454 are offered spring semester only. 5. Two advanced-level courses in Biological Sciences, chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor. One must be from the area of cell and molecular biology or the area of microbiology. Note: Many students prefer to take 452, 454, and 455 in their 3rd year. Note: Students must earn at least 40 hours at the 200, 300, or 400 level at a 4-year college or university. These hours may include hours in the major. Note: The General Education Requirement for continuing students or new transfer students for fall 2007 is 3 courses in Humanities, 3 courses in Social Sciences, 13 hours of Natural Sciences, and a Cultural Diversity course. For new freshmen for fall 2007, the General Education Requirement is 9 courses, 2 laboratory courses from Analyzing the Natural World, 1 course from each of Understanding the Individual and Society, Understanding the Past, Understanding the Creative Arts , Exploring World Cultures, and Understanding U.S. Society. 2 additional courses will be taken from any of these categories.
