Footnotes
- Students may substitute CHEM 1100 for CHEM 1110 .
- Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) Core Electives: A total of 24 credits of HASS Core Electives should be taken. Students should take an Inquiry course during their first year. For a listing of HASS Inquiry courses go to: https://info.rpi.edu/hass-inquiry. In addition, students should take a HASS Communications Intensive course during their first three semesters.
- Students may substitute Macroscopic or Microscopic Physical Chemistry (CHEM 4410 & CHEM 4420 ).
- Senior Research Thesis (BCBP 4990 ) is recommended; however, students may substitute with any of the BIOL, BCBP, or CHEM courses listed below.
- Restricted Electives: at least 6 credits in science or engineering. Restricted electives must be 4000 level courses. Molecular Biophysics Modules, Laboratory Option, and the Quantitative Option may be taken in different semesters than those shown if electives are shifted. Only 2 credits from research, mentoring, or independent study courses may count toward this requirement.
- Molecular Biochemistry I & II, molecular biophysics modules, and laboratory options cannot be satisfied with transfer credits.
- For students who have applied for and been granted an exception, The Arch Summer courses would be taken during the fall semester. For listing of the exception process go to: http://info.rpi.edu/arch/students/#ExceptionProcess
- The Advanced Lab Option fulfills the Communication Intensive (CI) in major requirement and the Culminating Experience requirement.
