                                                               Most courses are taught each year and some are taught each semester as indicated in the following table. Staffing may necessitate changes to this schedule so Self-Service should be consulted for actual courses taught each semester.

Important Considerations:  
	- Placement into Math 151 is a pre-requisite for starting in Chemistry 120 in the first semester. Although students do NOT need to co-enroll in math and chemistry, co-enrollment is HIGHLY recommended so that pre-requisite courses can be finished in a timely manner.
 
	- Enrollment in Physics 110 (Fall semesters) is restricted to freshmen & sophomores. When scheduling constraints necessitate it, Physics 110 may be replaced by Physics 101; Phys 101 is open to students in any class.
 
	- In planning, students should pay attention to pre-requisites for core and upper-level courses.
 
	- Students hoping to do a senior project with a Biology faculty member should enroll in a Biology Jr. Seminar course and those hoping to work with a Chemistry faculty member should enroll in the Chemistry Jr. Seminar.
 
	- Any student considering a Biochemistry Major is strongly encouraged to meet with a member of the Biochemistry faculty prior to scheduling classes for their Sophomore or Junior year.
