_____________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
All the LS Core classes must be taken for a letter grade and passed with a grade of C– or better and must be completed with an overall grade-point average of 2.0 or better. Students receiving a grade of D or F in two core curriculum courses, either in separate courses or repetitions of the same course, are subject to dismissal from the major and ineligible to continue in the MIMG program.
