Typical Four Year Course Load

Bachelor of Science Double Degree in Biology and Business Administration

The following is a typical four-year course load for students who are pursuing a Bachelor of Science double degree in Biology and Business Administration. This schedule is flexible and is designed to be used as an aid when students are preparing for each semester.

Math and science prerequisistes and the biology core courses should be taken in the order listed. General education core courses, shown by icon, may be taken in any desired order. See your advisor for specific course options.

For a Bachelor of Arts in Biology, Applied Calculus I and II (MATH 1325, 1326) replaces Calculus I and II, and algebra-based Physics with lab (PHYS 1301/1101, 1302/1102) replaces Physics I and II for Biosciences. Additionally, BIOL 4380 may be substituted with an Upper Level BIOL elective.
