Notes: This plan is one way in which you can complete your degree program in four years; it is not the only way. It assumes that you do not have to take any developmental courses (courses numbered below 100). It also assumes that you are not a transfer student, and you are beginning in the fall. See general education example below (Table 1):

GENERAL EDUCATION CATEGORIES CREDIT HOURS (CHRS)

Communication

• Oral (3 CHRS)
• Written (6 CHRS)

Scientific and Quantitative Inquiry

• Natural Sciences --at least one lab course (7 CHRS)
• Mathematics and Statistics (3 CHRS)

Culture and Creativity (Arts and Humanities) (6 CHRS)

Self and Society (Social and Behavioral Sciences)

• Cultural Pluralism (3 CHRS)
• Individual and Society (6 CHRS)

Elective in Global Viewpoints (3 CHRS)

Table 1. General Education Hours = 37

1. Required support courses outside the major include: BIO 126, BIO 208 w/lab, BIO 209 w/lab, CHE 115 w/lab, and PHY 110 w/lab.
2. Be sure that you complete at least 45 credits at the 300 level or above.
3. For those students interested in an allied health career (e.g., athletic training, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician’s assistant, nursing, etc.), please check with the appropriate school/college for specific course prerequisites and requirements.
