Requirements for Math and Science Elective
Approved courses include almost any 200 level or above course having 3 or more credits in biology, physics, biochemistry, chemistry, or math. Approved courses include BIOL 205, BIOL 214, BIOL 215, CHEM 223 , CHEM 224 , PHYS 221 , and BIOC 307, BIOC 308, and BIOL/EBME 300. Students can consult with their advisor to use another course not on this list. Understand that one cannot double count by applying this course toward another graduation requirement such as a technical elective in a BME sequence. Please be advised that BIOL 216 , PHYS 204 , PHYS 208 , and PHYS 250 will probably not be approved because of overlap with the BME curriculum.

 

NOTES

1. If accepted by the course coordinator, a semester coop project can be used as a senior project.
