Many intermediate and advanced courses in the program have prerequisites listed
under the Basic Science and Mathematics categories; several of the allowed
electives may have additional prerequisites. Many of the required and elective
courses may not be offered every year. Students must work closely with the
departmental undergraduate advisor to develop an individualized schedule of
courses that fits their needs and interests, while satisfying all of the above
requirements along with the university's core requirements for graduation.
