Note: Some labs can be taken as a 3 credit lecture with a 1 credit lab or both combined into a 4 credit class. In addition, some lab courses have a 3 credit lecture with 2 credit lab for a total of 5 credits. 5 Free Elective can vary from 1-3 credits depending on the number of 1 credit or 2 credit labs completed. For example: If a student completes no more than two elective 1 credits labs (whether the lab is a separate course or combined with the lecture into a 4 credit class), then Free Elective will be a 3 credit class. However, if a student completes no more than two elective labs and each has a separate 2 credit lab, then the student will have earned two additional credits which can be counted towards Free Elective thus reducing it to one credit. 6 Courses may be taken in either semester of the year listed. No more than two Breadth of Knowledge courses can be taken with the same prefix. The Core Curriculum courses may be taken in any sequence. Refer to the Core Curriculum policy for further details. You should meet with your faculty ad Current UMass Lowell students should use their Advisement Report in SIS . If you need assistance, please contact your advisor. Restriction on off-campus study: Be advised that any course taken at another institution must be formally approved prior to enrollment. See the catalog policy for details.

General Biology Elective: The remaining one (1) upper-level elective can be selected from all upper-level BIOL courses. Note: Labs can be taken as a 3 credit lecture with a 1 credit lab or both combined into a 4 credit class. In addition, some lab courses have a 3 credit lecture with 2 credit lab for a total of 5 credits. Additionall 5 Free Elective can vary from 0-2 credits depending on the number of 1 credit or 2 credit labs completed. For example: If a student completes no more than two 1 credit labs (whether the lab is a separate course or combined with the lecture into a 4 credit class), then Free Elective will be a 2 credit class. Since there are not many However, if a student completes no more than 2 labs and each lab is a separate 2 credit lab, then the student will have earned two additional BIOL credits which can be used to satisfy Free Elective. 6 Courses may be taken in either semester of the year listed.
