These maps are term-by-term sample course schedules. The milestones listed below each term are designed to keep you on course to graduate in four years. Two sample schedules are provided as general guidelines to help you build a full schedule each term (one includes summer semester core matriculation). The courses must be selected with your advisor to satisfy all core curriculum and state, lab science, and multicultural requirements. The Health Sciences program accepts students during fall and spring semesters only. There is no summer admission into the BS Health Sciences Jr/Sr curriculum.

Students admitted in the fall and spring BS Health Sciences cohorts have the option of summer courses in the Jr/Sr curriculum.
