| # Students following these curricula who
have bypassed Pre-Calculus with the approval of the University should take
MATH 1070 -- Introductory Calculus in the Fall of the Sophomore year, so
that they will be eligible for timely completion of the Sophomore Competency
tests. Failure to do so will not only delay completion of Sophomore Comps
but will make it necessary for the student to seek a waiver in order to
take BIOL 3110 -- Genetics.
*To be chosen from one of the following: PSCI 1010 or
1020 or SOCI 1010 or ECON 1030, 2010, or 2020 (the latter two are primarily
