Return to: Academic Programs
Students pursuing the Mathematical Biology major are encouraged to take CHEM 0110 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1 and CHEM 0120 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY 2 , as these courses will satisfy the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences breadth requirement in natural science and will expand their biology and neuroscience course options. Several of the BIOSC courses that fulfill requirements for this major have prerequisites, but some do not have prerequisites. PHYS 0174 - BASIC PHYSICS, SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 1 (INTEGRATED) and PHYS 0175 - BASIC PHYSICS, SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 2 (INTEGRATED) also carry a high degree of relevance for Mathematical Biology majors.
