NOTES

1. The science elective for this specialty sequence must be satisfied by one of the following two choices:
BIOC 307: Biochemistry (fall)
BIOC308: Genes and Genetic Engineering (spring)

** Students are expected to take EBME 398 or EBME 380, but not both. If choosing the EBME 398 option, students are encouraged to register for this class in the fall. Students will take EBME 380 in the spring following EBME 370.
