Elective Recommendation Note
- Not all 100- or 200-level BIOL courses have associated separate 0.25 unit labs. Where they do exist, they are required if the associated lecture is counting toward the Year One science requirements.
- Students are advised to take at least 2.0 units from non-Science areas.
- The represented sequencing of all elective types is suggestive only and can be taken in a different order, and different term, than what is shown, depending on the elective chosen, its term of offering and required requisites.
