*An alternative to the two-semester calculus sequence of MATH 1340 (3 credits) and MATH 1350 (3
credits) is the one semester course, MATH 1310 (5 credits)
**An International Perspective (IP) course and a Cultural Diversity (CD) course need to be
completed. Designated courses can simultaneously fulfill the IP or CD requirement and a BGP Arts &
Humanities or BGP Social Science requirement.
- A total of 122 units need to be completed for graduation.
- A foreign language requirement needs to be fulfilled either through high school credits or completion of appropriate BGSU courses. For those in the Spanish track, SPAN 2030, Intermediate Spanish for the Professions, is recommended.
- Prepharmacy students should also take ECON 2020 (Principles of Microeconomics, which can count as a Multidisciplinary Component).
- An American Chemical Society (ACS) certified degree can be obtained by completing Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, CHEM 4630, which is offered in the fall term. This course can also be used to fulfill a Multidisciplinary component.
- Two approved BGP courses in the Arts and Humanities need to be completed.
- Two approved BGP courses in the Social Sciences need to be completed. These requirements can be fulfilled with SOC 1010 and PSYC 1010 which should be taken for MCAT preparation.
- A total of 4 classes are needed for the multidisciplinary component. One course can include Human Anatomy and Physiology I. Three more are needed from different disciplines. One more course needs to be at the 3000/4000 level.
- A total of 40 units at the 3000/4000 level needs to be completed for graduation.
- The following courses should ideally be completed by the end of Year 1: GSW 1110. GSW 1120. CHEM 1230 or CHEM 1350. CHEM 1270 or CHEM 1370.
- The following courses should be ideally completed at minimum by the end of Year 2: MATH 1310 or MATH 1350. CHEM 3410. CHEM 3440. CHEM 3450. PHYS 2010 or PHYS 2110. PHYS 2020 or PHYS 2120. Foreign Language Requirement. BIOL 2040. BIOL 2050.
- The following courses should be ideally completed at minimum by the end of Year 3: CHEM 2010. BIOL 3310. BIOL 3320. CHEM 4450. CHEM 4460. CHEM 4470. PSYC 1010. SOC 1010. MATH 2320.
