Each semester it is recommended that you enroll in approximately 15 credits.

Notes: 1Biology 151 and 152 may be taken in any order, i.e., 151 is not a prerequisite for 152. Both courses require college level math placement (i.e., eligibility for MATH 193.) 2 There is no placement exam to get into CHEM 210. Must have completed CHEM 160 or an ACT math sub-score of 23 or higher; or have completed MATH 072 or higher. Students without high school chemistry with the math requirements for CHEM 210 are strongly urged to take CHEM 160. Refer to: https://www.stcloudstate.edu/chemistry/programs/placement.aspx 3To determine your readiness for Mathematics 112 contact the Math Department at 320-308-3001. The Mathematics department provides a Math placement exam which is required before enrolling in a Math/Stats class. Refer to: https://www.stcloudstate.edu/mathstat/placement/default.aspx 4Contact your Biology advisor for approved Biology electives. Contact Departments after February 1st to determine expected Summer course offerings. Not all Biology electives are offered both Fall and Spring Semesters. Contact the Biology Department for specific course offerings. 5An internship experience is required for all Biotechnology students. Most students complete this requirement during their junior or senior year, often during the summer break. Please see advisor.

SCSU requires a minimum of 1) 120 semester credits to earn a Bachelor’s degree, 2) 40 of these credits must be at the 300 or 400-level. A minimum of 40 Liberal Education credits are required at 300 or 400-level for graduation covering 10 goal areas. Required Biomedical courses will cover Goals 3, 4, and 10. Students must complete 3 Diversity courses from 3 different rubrics or academic areas. It is strongly recommended that one Diversity course be an approved Racial Issues course. It is essential to see your biology advisor during the first semester you are enrolled in BIOL courses. Contact Biology Department after February 1st to inquire about expected summer courses. Biology Department can be contacted for specific course offerings at 320-308-2039. Updated Sept 2019

Most courses have pre-requisites. BS — and : See SCSU Undergraduate bulletin Biotechnology or Biochemistry (77-81 credits) https://catalog.stcloudstate.edu .
