EDUCATION

-HIGH SCHOOL IS MANDATORY!!!!!

-Most College Programs are similar, Here is a random example from UC SANTA CRUZ.

BIOLOGY
-Marine Biology: Program  Descriptions and Requirements for the Major
-Introductory biology: courses 20A, 20B, and 20C
-Experimental biology lab: course 20L (formerly 101L)

CHEMISTRY
-General chemistry with labs: courses 1B/M and 1C/N
-Organic chemistry with labs: either courses 7 and 7L, 108A/L and 108B/M, or 112A/L and 112B/M.

MATHEMATICS
-Introductory calculus: two courses such as 11A-B or 19A-B
-Biostatistics: course 7

PHYSICS
-Introductory physics with labs: courses 7A/L and 7B/M or two courses from the 6A/L, 6B/M, and 6C/N sequence.

ADVANCED COURSE REQUIREMENTS
