@Gregmacd: The above means that as a Pre-Major in Biochemistry (FTF) at SDSU you need a lower GPA to advance into the major which could also mean more difficult pre-req courses than Microbiology and Biology Pre-majors.
Compare Biochemistry Pre-req courses: Chemistry 200, 201, 232, 232L, 251; Biology 204, 204L; Mathematics 150, 151, 252; Physics 195, 195L, 196, 196L. (43 units) Recommended: Physics 197 and 197L.
Biology Pre-req courses: Biology 203, 203L, 204, 204L, 215; Chemistry 200, 201, 232, 232L; Mathematics 124; Physics 180A, 180B, 182A, 182B. (37 units)
Microbiology Pre-req courses: Biology 203, 203L, 204, 204L, 215; Chemistry 200, 201, 232, 232L; Mathematics 124; Physics 180A, 180B, 182A, 182B. (37 units)
