____________________________________________________________________________________________
The Life Sciences Core curriculum is a common program of study comprised of chemistry, life sciences, math, and physics designed to prepare students for any discipline in the life sciences. The LS Core includes all preparation courses for the MIMG major.
Each core curriculum course must be passed with a grade of C− or better, and all courses must be completed with an overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better. Students receiving a grade of D or lower in two core curriculum courses, either in separate courses or repetitions of the same course, are subject to dismissal from the major.
