For Students Majoring in Biology and Biochemistry

The Department of Biology offers programs leading to a B.A.degree and a B.S. degree. Slightly different Mathematics co-requisite courses are suggested for these programs. Mathematics co-requisites for Biochemistry are the same as those for the B.S. degree in Biology.

The B.A. Program in Biology

Students who have AP credit in Calculus (a score of 4 or higher on either the AB or the BC examination) are exempted from the mathematics co-requisite for the B.A. program. Otherwise, students are required to complete one semester of Calculus, usually with one of these courses:

• MT100 Calculus I
• MT101 Calculus II
• MT202 Multivariable Calculus

Note

• If you are required to, or wish to, take a Calculus course, please visit the Calculus Advisement on this website for more information on your Calculus options.

The B.S. Program in Biology

Students in the B.S. program in Biology must complete Calculus through the level of Calculus II. This is usually done through one of the following courses:

• MT101 Calculus II; 
• MT103 Calculus II for Math and Science Majors
• MT105 Calculus II - AP for Math and Science Majors
• MT202 Multivariable Calculus.

Note

• Students in the B.S. program must complete Calculus II before they can enroll in Physics.
• This co-reequisite can be satisfied by a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam.
• Please visit the Calculus Advisement on this website for students taking Biology for more information on your Calculus options.

The Biochemistry Major Students in Biochemistry must complete Calculus through the level of Calculus II.

Note

• Please check all the Notes above listed above for the B.S. in Biology.
• For further information on the Biochemistry major, please contact either Professor Kantrowitz in Merkert 239 or Professor Annunziato in Higgins 422.
