change in the BSCI requirements

Dear Student,

We are sharing an update for changes to BSCI161 and BSCI171. BSCI161 and BSCI171 will no longer be offered and instead will be replaced with a single lab, BSCI180. There are no changes to either lecture course – BSCI170 and BSCI 160. These changes are only for the lab.

• If you are a current student who already has credit for BSCI161 and BSCI171 in any way - via AP/IB credit, transfer credit, or completed the course here -  this change will have no impact on you. 
• If your major only requires one of these lab courses, and you have completed that course, then this will have no impact on you.
• If your major requires taking both BSCI171 and BSCI161, and you have only complete one of the labs, you should plan to take BSCI180.

In addition to moving to a single introductory lab course, the most significant change is that students will now have to complete one of the associated lecture courses as a prerequisite - prior to enrolling in BSCI180.

• The prerequisite for the new lab, BSCI180, will be a grade of C- or better in either BSCI160 OR BSCI170. 
• Students may not register for BSCI180 in the same semester they are first taking either BSCI160 or BSCI170.

The degree requirement for majors that require BSCI171 and/or BSCI161 will be updated soon to reflect either the old series or the new course meeting the requirement. Similarly, subsequent course prerequisites will be updated to reflect either the old series or the new course meeting the prerequisite requirement.

If your degree program does not require BSCI161 or BSCI171 and you are looking for a general education Natural Science Lab course to complete within one semester, you can search the Schedule of classes for programs offering DSNL credit. 

For additional information visit the BSCI180 FAQ page. If you have any questions, please reach out to your academic advisor or college student services office to understand how these changes apply to your major and/or academic plans for your Fall 26 schedule.
