NOTE: All courses taken to fulfill BSOC requirements must be at the 2000 level or abgove (except BIOEE/STS 1180, MATH 1710, NS 1150, NS 1220, BSOC 1941 & 1942), at least 3 credit hours, and taken for a letter grade, receiving at least a C- as a final grade. AP credit is only accepted for Calculus and Statistics requirements. A list of courses that meet these requirements is availabe in 303 Morrill Hal or online at http://sts.cornell.edu/bio-society
I. Basic Courses
A. Biological Sciences (Two of the following): BioEE 1610 or BioSM 1610; BioEE 1780 or BioSM 1780; BioG 1440 or BioG 1445; or BioMG 1350. Avoid Forbidden overlaps as indicated students are not required to take BioG 1500 or BioSM 1500, but may wish to for lab experience.
B. College Calculus (One course): Math 1106, 1110, 1120 or any higher level calculus. Students may petition to take a second statistics course (an advanced course in sequence with the statistics course taken in the foundation) in place of calculus.
