Supporting Sciences

• Supporting Science Requirements Include
• Math
• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology

3
Mathematical Foundation for Science Courses

• Before attempting Chemistry, Physics, Biology, or
  Calculus courses, students should have a strong
  math foundation.
• MAC 1105 College Algebra is pre-requisite for all
  math and science courses

4
Common Math Requirements

• One of the following Calc I II sequences (8
  hours)
• MAC 2241 2242 Life Sciences Calculus
• MAC 2311 2312 Calculus (with analytic geometry)
  
• MAC 2281 2282 Engineering Calculus
• STA 2023 Introduction to Statistics can be
  substituted for any Calculus II for Biology, BMS,
  or INS majors
• Math requirements vary by major example
  Chemistry BS students have additional Math
  requirements PLEASE see degree sheet and your
  advisor

Math Pre-requisites
6
Math Permits

• You will Need a Prerequisite Permit to sign up
  for calculus IF
• You have out of state transfer pre-calc credit
• You have private school transfer pre-calc credit
• USF does not have your qualifying SAT/ACT scores
• If the Math pre-requisite is not showing in
  system
• Math permits can be obtained through the math
  department contact http//www.math.usf.edu/
• Note You may have to submit a course
  description to the Math Dept for evaluation of
  outside math credit

7
Physics Pre-requisites

• You must register to take lecture and labs
  simultaneously
• USF offers 2 types of Physics Sequences be sure
  to check your degree sheet.
• PHY2053/L and PHY2054/L General Physics
• PHY2048/L and PHY2049/L Calculus-Based Physics
• If you have completed one part and need a permit
  for the other, you can request a physics permit

8
Non-Calculus Based Physics

• Recommended sequence for Life-science
  and pre-health students
• BMS, INS, Chemistry BA majors will follow this
  sequence.

9
Calculus Based Physics

• Chemistry BS Majors MUST follow this sequence.
• Calc I must be completed before Physics I, and
  Calc II must be completed before Physics II

Chemistry Course Sequence
11
Chemistry Pre-requisites

• MAC 1105 College Algebra is required to take
  General Chemistry I (CHM 2045 )
• CHM 2023 Chemistry for Today For Science Majors
  is required to take prior to General Chemistry I
  if a student did not take Chemistry during high
  school or in the past 2 years.
• Chemistry Lecture MUST be taken before or
  simultaneously with the Lab.

12
ChemistryPrerequisites Permits

• Lectures may be taken without the lab
• Labs must still be completed prior to graduation
• Labs must be completed in order
• If pre-requisite is not showing in system, a
  student must submit a permit request form.
  http//chemistry.usf.edu/undergrad/permits
• If course evaluation is needed (required for all
  chemistry that transfers from out of state or
  private institutions), students should submit
  this form with syllabus and permit request form

Biology at USF

• Biology I Cellular Processes 4 hours
• BSC 2010 (lecture)
• BSC 2010L (lab)
• Biology II Biodiversity 4 hours
• BSC 2011 (lecture)
• BSC 2011L (lab)

14
Basic Biology Prerequisites

• The corresponding Lecture and Lab MUST be taken
  simultaneously for both Biology I (BSC2010 Lab)
  and Biology II (BSC2011 Lab).
• If you previously passed one and not the other,
  you may request a permit to take the course
  alone.
• You may request a permit at

• PCB 3063/L Genetics
• PCB 3712 3713L General Physiology

16
Upper-level Biology Course Pre-requisites

• Biology I II Lectures and Lab, and Chemistry I
  II Lectures, must be completed for ALL
  upper-level biology
• There may be additional prerequisites though
• For example, Microbiology requires CHM 2210
  Organic Chemistry I to be completed as well
• Upper-level Lectures may be taken without the lab
  (ex. PCB 3023 and PCB 3023L).
• Biology courses must be less than 10 years old to
  automatically meet pre-requisite
