| Total Units | 28-29 |
- 1
BIOL 206 and BIOL 206L are prerequisites for BIOL 309.
- 2
The requirement of CHEM 330 may also be satisfied with successful completion of CHEM 331 and CHEM 332 (10 units total). Many graduate and professional programs require two terms of organic chemistry. Students who are contemplating education beyond the undergraduate level (graduate schools, medical school, etc.) should talk with an adviser.
