Getting started in Biology B.A.: Fall 2024 Entering Frosh
🔙
Students are admitted to UCSC with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major. Admission to UCSC does not guarantee acceptance into a particular major. Students must be declared in a major by the end of the second year (or equivalent), so learning about and preparing for a major is a primary goal for first-year students.
|
Importance of an early start: |
This is a course-intensive and/or sequential program, and students who intend to pursue this major must begin taking classes for the major in their first year at UCSC. |
|
Qualification requirements and/or prerequisites for the major: |
Review Major Qualification Requirements in the General Catalog. |
|
Frosh who intend to pursue this major should do the following things prior to the beginning of fall term... |
Complete the Math Preparation and placement process. You can review your math skills for free to prepare you for placement or your next course. It takes up to three business days for ALEKS PPL placement to be posted in your student record. Completing the assessment by August 5 will ensure your placement is posted before enrollment begins for fall. |
|
...and should take these courses their first term: |
BIOE 20C Ecology and Evolution |
|
Special enrollment procedures: |
Enroll in classes during your online enrollment appointment time. Enrolling after your enrollment appointment time may limit the courses available to you. |
|
Sample Academic Plan: |
Review the Sample Academic Plan in the General Catalog. |
