Access the complete curriculum for the BS, Biology, Environmental Science specialization<\/a>, from the Natural Sciences Department section of the Daemen catalog.<\/p>\n

Following is a suggested <\/i><\/b>course sequence for your program. Courses may be offered as indicated and\/or at other times. Consult your Advisor for further direction and planning.<\/p>\n

Course Loads<\/h2>\n

Maximum of 18 credits allowed at no additional tuition charge.<\/p>\n

First-Year Seminar and Learning Communities<\/strong> are generally completed in the first year.<\/p>\n

MATH REQUIREMENT<\/h4>\n

Students are expected to complete MTH134 Pre-Calculus by the end of the second year of study. Depending upon the Math background, a student may be required to complete lower-level Math courses as a prerequisite to the required MTH134. Therefore, students should begin their Math studies in Year 1.<\/p>\n
