Marine Biology BS: Freshmen Academic Plans
In second, third, and fourth year plans only major requirements are listed. You may need to add an additional course to be full time. Your third course can be a GE requirement, a course of general interest, a prerequisite for graduate or professional school, an undergraduate research course, an internship, or a minor requirement.
- GE - General Education requirement course. Remember to add your General Education requirements to your plan.
- ME - Major Exploration are courses to include in your academic plan to explore other majors/minors you might be interested in.
We strongly discourage students from enrolling in more than two major courses per quarter due to the workload.
PLAN 1: If you are beginning with MATH 3 and want time for major exploration.
