what do you need to take to graduate from CALS?

<p>i am interested in biological sciences at CALS
i am not very familiar with the credit system can someone explain?
it says 120 credits, in 4 years i would assume that it's 30/year, 15/semester?</p>

<p>does CALS have a core curriculum?</p>

<p>everything is online...</p>

<p>you can distribute your credits however you like, i.e. semester 1: 14 credits, semester 2: 16 credits. just make sure you get 120 credits in the end...most ppl get more than 120 credits.</p>

<p>bio is a tough major, so you'll have lots of requirements that you shouldnt screw up.</p>

<p>vbear gave you a terrific link.<br>
I just want to add two more...</p>

<p>This one is specifically about Biological Sciences in CALS

<p>This one is basically an overview of Biological Sciences in general
