Cell and Developmental Sample Schedule

Sample schedule for New Molecular Biology major curriculum coming soon!

For students enrolled in the old Molecular Biology, Cell and Developmental curriculum, here is a sample schedule of how one could arrange a well-balanced curriculum. We recommend students enroll in no more than 6 - 8 credits of science/math each term. Also, make sure to balance all labs across several terms.

Please note: The following schedule is only a suggestion for completing a major in Molecular Biology, Cell and Developmental Track. There are many other ways to organize the courses. You should work with one of our Bio. Science Advisors to create a plan suitable for you and your specific educational plans.
