SPECIAL NOTES: For the Bachelor of Science Degree, students must complete a minimum of 124 credits with at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Students must take their last 30 credits in residence while officially enrolled in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. Degree credit will be granted only once for courses that are repeated. Other degree requirements are outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog.

Students are strongly encouraged to gain laboratory experience through independent study, for example, Genetics 299 or 399 or 699 or 681.

Students must meet with their advisor at least once per semester.

Students who have not maintained a GPA of at least 2.5 by the end of their first two years, or transfer students, by the end of their first year in residence, need to evaluate their major and career options with an advisor.

**Pre-professional students (pre-med, pre-vet, pre-dental, etc) should note that they may need a full year of general/inorganic/analytical chemistry as well as a full year of organic chemistry for admission. Those pre-professional students taking Chem 109 should take an additional chemistry course: choose from Chem 327, 329, 311 or 565.
