Completing IAW (Intermediate Algebra Workshop) with a grade of “C” or higher allows students to enroll in Math 8A Winter Quarter. Students do not earn units for this course. 3 Math sequences include either 8A-8B-9B OR 5-9A-9B. Students follow the appropriate sequence depending upon initial placement. 4 A minimum of 36 UD (upper division) units is required for a degree in Biology. Biological Sciences requires specific courses chosen from one of 9 tracks. A recommended first UD course is Biology 102, Intro Genetics. 5 For the B.S. degree in Biology: An additional 16 units of "related" courses is required (see list of approved courses: http://cnasstudent.ucr.edu/Biol%60UD%60and%60Related%6010S.pdf ). 1 2 Less Intensive Pace/ Summer Session There are many reasons why a student might wish to complete the core curriculum courses at a less intensive pace. If you are unsure of your ultimate educational objectives, you may wish to have more freedom in your schedule to take elective or breadth courses in other programs during your first few years. You may also wish to take fewer units per quarter if there are other significant demands on your time such as part-time employment, family responsibilities, athletics, social commitments, etc., or if the need arises to spend more time on each of your classes. Since summer session is optional, we have created the sample course plans below for students who wish to take core courses at a less intensive pace while attempting to complete their degree in 4 years. Students who work at this less intensive pace without utilizing summer options should expect to complete their degree in approximately 5 years.
