Advising for Freshman

Below are our 4-year plans for Biology majors to help students plan their course work to graduate on time.  Biology offers a B.S. and a B.A. degree; we recommend the B.S. degree as it prepares students for work and for professional (medicine, dentistry, etc.) and graduate (M.S. or PhD) school.  Many of the courses required for Biology have Math pre-requisites, so there are 2 pathway sheets for both the B.S. and B.A. in Biology that are based on where a student starts in Math.  These sheets can be used to choose courses for a Freshman’s first semester at LaGrange College.

If you test into MATH 1101 or higher on your math placement exam, choose the B.S. (preferred) or the B.A in Biology
