• Review Area F requirements for the specific major before choosing Area D courses.
• Area D courses are broken down into two categories: one for science majors and one for non-science majors. This breakdown does not preclude a non-science major from selecting a sequence from the science major list.
• Additional Note Regarding Science CPC Deficiency: Students with a Science CPC deficiency are required to take SSCI 1100 to satisfy the CPC deficiency. A grade of C or higher is SSCI is required. SSCI credit cannot be used to fulfill graduation requirements.
• Select one of the following science sequences (two science lectures + two corresponding labs).
• Both lecture (3 hours) and lab (1 hour) must be taken for a total of 4 creit hours.
• Labs are denoted by the lecture with an "L". Ex. BIOL 1101L, CHEM 1211L.
• If the total hours in Area D exceed 11, the excess may be counted in Area F, if applicable.
