1. Refer to the Division of Natural Sciences section of this catalog for
other beginning curriculum options.
2. The department stresses the importance of taking physics during either the freshman or the sophomore year. This permits a better understanding of chemistry and enables a student to complete degree requirements with no scheduling difficulties in the junior and senior years. Students interested in the Bachelor of Science with biochemistry emphasis should plan to take biology in the alternate year.
3. Students desiring to fulfill the College of Arts and Sciences foreign language requirement under Option I, or who desire to attain or maintain a language proficiency, should take a language course as part of their optional selections.
