Major Requirements
1. Core Program:
- CHEM 014L KS , CHEM 015L KS - Basic Principles of Chemistry, or CHEM 029L KS - Accelerated General Chemistry, or CHEM 042L KS -Integrated Biology & Chemistry .
- BIOL 043L KS and BIOL 044L KS - Introductory Biology, or BIOL 042L KS -Integrated Biology & Chemistry andBIOL 044L KS -Introductory Biology . * Students who wish to specialize in the Physics sequence have the option of taking PHYS 033L KS - PHYS 034L KS , PHYS 030L KS -PHYS 031L KS in lieu of Biology for their Core Program.
- MATH 030 PZ -Calculus I
- Computer Science CS5 HM or CSCI051 PO. Introduction to Computer Science
- CSCI 051 CM Introduction to Computer Science
- ECON 052 PZ Principles of Microeconomics - Principles of Microeconomics
- ECON 086 CM Accounting for Decision Making - Accounting and Decision Making
- ECON 105 PZ Microeconomic Theory - Microeconomic Theory
- ECON 091 PZ Statistics - or other statistics course, preferably with R ( e.g., BIOL 175 KS Applied Biostatistics )
- ECON 151 CM Strategic Cost Management
- ECON 134 CM - Corporate Finance
- ORST 135 PZ Organizational Behavior
- A course in Ethics (e.g., PHIL 125 HM-01, CSCI 181R JT-01, BIOL 053 PO, PHIL 198 CM, PHIL 189 CM, ECON 156 CM)
- Project Management Fundamentals. This requirement can be met by taking one of the following:
- E183 HM. Management of Technical Enterprise (offered in FA)
- ECON165 CMC. Industrial Organization (offered annually; cannot be double-counted for the corporate finance requirement)
- ECON150 PO. Industrial Organization (offered in SP; note that course is impacted)
- ALS403 KGI. Team Master’s Project (taken in conjunction with a TMP senior thesis)
- Senior Thesis. Majors must complete a thesis as the capstone requirement to the major. Options include either a 2-semester Team Master’s Project (TMP) or a one- or two-semester science thesis in Biology, Chemistry, or Physics (191, 188L/190L, 189L/190L).
2. Areas of Concentration:
All majors must complete an area of concentration track with a minimum of five courses. Representative examples are below.
a. Chemistry Track
- Chemistry 116L-117L. Organic Chemistry
- Chemistry 126L or Chem127L. Advanced Laboratory in Chemistry
- 2 additional upper-division chemistry courses
b. Physics Track
Please note that MATH 111 CM Differential Equations is a prerequisite for most upper-division physics courses. MATH 111 CM is equivalent to MATH 102 at Pitzer, Pomona, or Scripps.
c. Biophysics Track
d. Biotechnology Track
- Chemistry 116L-117L. Organic Chemistry
- 3 additional upper-division biology classes (at least one with lab). Recommendations include:
e. Neuroscience Track
f. Environmental Management Track
At least 2 courses in this sequence must have an associated laboratory component
g. Public Health Track
Courses must be selected from 3 of the 5 fields listed below. Please note that some of these courses have prerequisites outside of the GE/Core program of this major.
- Science (e.g., Chemistry 116L-117L Organic Chemistry and/or Physics 30L-31L General Physics for the Life Sciences)
- Economics (e.g., 109 CM, 129 PO, 187 CM, PHIL180 CM)
- Psychology (e.g., 81 CM, 103 PZ, 107 CM, 111 PZ, 155 CM, 176 PO, 185 CM, 152 SC, 188 PZ, 193 PZ)
- Sociology (e.g., 86 PZ, 120 PZ, 170 PZ, ONT101 PZ, CHLT110 PZ, CHLT153 PZ, ANTH002 PZ/SC, PHIL155 SC)
- Government (e.g., 105 CM, 106 CM, 114 CM, POLI151 SC)
