To remain ‘on track’ for this major a student must meet the following critical tracking criteria. The critical tracking courses appear in bold.
Semester 1:
- 2.0 UF GPA required for semester 1-5
- Complete 2 of 11 critical courses – excluding labs: CHM2045, CHM2045L, CHM2046, CHM2046L, MAC2311, MAC2312, BSC2010, BSC2010L, BSC2011, BSC2011L, (ECO2013 and ECO2023) or AEB3103, PHY2004, PHY2004L, PHY2005, PHY2005L, STA2023
Semester 2:
- Complete 2 additional courses of the 11 critical courses – excluding labs
Semester 3:
- Complete 2 additional courses of the 11 critical courses – excluding labs
Semester 4:
- Complete 2 additional courses of the 11 critical courses – excluding labs
Semester 5:
- Complete all 11 critical courses - including associated labs
Students preparing for science modeling in graduate school should take MAP 2302 as an elective.
1 If students take CHM 1025 in preparation for CHM 2045, the extra credits count as free electives.
2 If students precede this sequence by taking MAC 1114, 1140 or 1147, the extra credits count as free electives. Students may substitute MAC 2233 and 2234 for MAC 2311 and 2312 but this may preclude access to certain courses.
