UMD - Biology Intent Students

Update provided by Andrea Milo on July 8, 2014

UMD-Biology intent students:

1) Beginning fall 2014 MC students planning to major in biology and transfer to UMD should take PHYS233/234 Physics for the Life Sciences, which will transfer as UMD's PHYS131/132 Physics for Biologists requirement.

2) If a student transfers to UMD prior to taking PHYS233/234 they will be permitted to use their MATH181 Calculus I as the calc pre-requisites for UMD's Physics for Biologists I (since MC does not currently offer a Calculus for Biologists course)

3) Student who took PH203 and PH204 prior to the fall 2014 semester will be able to apply this toward UMD's physics for biologists requirement and will not have to take PHYS131/132 upon transfer.

4) GT and TP MC students who might not have access to PHYS233/234 or who might not have been aware of this change can still take and transfer PHYS203 and PHYS204 through this academic year only (14-15).

5) UMD plans to continue to accept our Calc I and II (MATH181/182) for their biology majors. Students planning to major in sciences should NEVER take MATH150/151 (formerly MA160/161)
