FSUTeach BIOLOGY ACADEMIC MAP (Effective Summer "C" 2009 and after)


This map is a term-by-term sample course schedule. The milestones listed to the right of each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. The Sample Schedule serves as a general guideline to help you build a full schedule each term. The Liberal Studies and Elective courses must be selected to satisfy all area, literature, lab, Gordon Rule, and multicultural requirements unless your program meets these requirements with major courses. Milestones are courses and special requirements necessary for timely progress to complete a major. Missing milestones will result in one of two types of map registration stops. The first level (Degree Map Offtrack) is placed following grade posting if the student has missed a milestone (course and/or GPA) for the first time in the major. If a student is in non-compliance with milestones for two (2) consecutive semesters (excluding summers), a Major Change Required stop is placed on the student's registration.

The FSUTeach/Biology major works best if you can start in the highest math for which you have completed the prerequisites.  **If you start FSUTeach/Biology in MAC1105, you should plan on taking math and chemistry over the summer to get back on course to graduate in four years.  If you begin FSU with earned credit for College Algebra, you should take MAC1140 and CHM1045 with lab during Term 1.
