Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

This program illustrates a possible 3-year completion of a BS in Biological Sciences degree with the assumption of attending summer terms and readiness for calculus. Additional credits will be required if calculus pre-requisites are necessary. Life Science Electives have specific requirements. All CoSM courses require a C or better for degree credit and a 2.0 cumulative GPA is required for graduation.
