<p>D1 did not attend UR (she graduated from another school); D2 took the 160 series because she originally did not intend to have a math major. She also had advance standing in math (credits for calc 1, 2 & 3) and was advised by the math dept that entering the 170 series at an upper level would be difficult due to the differing approach used by the 170 classes. She opted to use her previous credits and start with MTH 165. Applied math majors can do either the 170 series or 160 series. (The 140 series is a slower-paced introduction to calculus intended mostly for pre-meds.)</p>
<p>By virology–I assume you mean the epidemiological study of how viruses spread. If that’s what you mean, then yes.</p>
<p>If you mean virology as a subfield of microbiology–then no. A PhD in virology as scientific discipline requires an undergrad degree (or at least very strong minor with multiple advanced classes and hands on lab research) in biology/microbiology or biochemistry.</p>
