This sample shows just one possible pathway to earning a Bachelor of Science degree with an ecology, evolution and behavior in biological sciences major in four years. Students may opt for a Bachelor of Arts instead, but the requirements for that pathway are not reflected in this plan.
This plan does not replace the advice of your advisor, and you are cautioned to meet regularly with your advisor to create a personalized plan that matches their particular circumstances rather than following this verbatim.
The information below also reflects the degree requirements for students who began their college education in Fall of 2013 or later. If you started college coursework prior to Fall of 2013, your degree requirements may be different. And, this plan assumes that you have tested into college-level math and English classes but have not taken any foreign language during high school.
