A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

              3. MATH 147
                If students are not placed into MATH 147, then MATH 107 or BIOL 100 is also required to complete the major. Some biology majors may take MATH 224. If students are not placed into MATH 224, then MATH 223 and, if needed, MATH 108 are also required.
                Not resolved to a course
              4. Some biology majors may take BIOL 347. BIOL 251 is also required if taking BIOL 347.
                Not resolved to a course
              5. Students pursuing the SUNY transfer path should check with the school they wish to transfer to in order to determine whether MATH 108 is necessary.
                Not resolved to a course
              6. No more than eight credits may come from the following list: BIOL 494, 495, 496, 497, and 498. Only one laboratory course requirement may be satisfied by BIOL 495, 497, or 498. Also, a course counting toward the laboratory requirement must be at least two credits.
