projected schedule for biochem major

<p>this is my plan of classes that i will be taking in college, but i need to know if this is not good enough and if i should take more humanities/ and I DONT KNOW THE DIFFICULTY OF THESE CLASSES SO ANYONE THAT HAS TAKEN THEM PLEASE TELL IF THEY ARE HARD OR NOT AND I WILL CONSIDER CHANGING MY SCHEDULE. I ALSO HERD THAT ORGANIC CHEM IS A WHOPPER… IS IT REALLY THAT HARD?</p>

<p>Your questions really can’t be answered without knowing which school you’re going to. That will impact the difficulty of courses, as well as the requirements for a biochem major. You’ll also likely encounter availability issues in college - courses that aren’t offered, courses with conflicting times, courses that fill before you have a chance to register - which makes it incredibly unlikely that you’ll be able to pursue this schedule the way it’s written.</p>

<p>The distribution of sciences and humanities is also problematic. If you go to a school with an open curriculum, no problem; but most schools have distribution requirements, and also require you to take a certain number of credits outside your major. (For example, my college requires 112 credits to graduate, of which no more than 56 can be in one department.) With only seven elective courses on your list, you may not meet the graduation requirements for the school you attend.</p>

<p>this is just a generalized schedule, it will not be in the order that it is written, and the university is clark university which has about 2000 students total and 40 biochem majors total… so courses filling are not going to be a problem… and no distribution reqs, and required number of creds outside major</p>

<p>should of said that in the begging srry.</p>

<p>in a generalized feild of study what classes are recomended, that is basically what iam trying to ask,for example in philosophy i would recomend taking epistomology in general regardless of collegiate stature purley for purposes concerning interest and application to your major. thanks about the humanities reqs though i should get more…</p>

<p>I thought Clark University does have general education requirements that have to be satisfied by what they call the “Program of Liberal Studies”? </p>

<p>Here’s the [url=<a href=“http://www.clarku.edu/academiccatalog/introduction/academicprogram/liberalarts.cfm]link[/url”>http://www.clarku.edu/academiccatalog/introduction/academicprogram/liberalarts.cfm]link[/url</a>] to their Liberal Studies program. The program seems to be a little bit less strict, but nonetheless, there are some “requirements”. </p>

<p>I am considering Clark University for Geography. How was your FA package from them, if you don’t mind saying? (My EFC will be zero, so this is important to me).</p>

<p>well, i dont know how their financial aid is because my parents are paying for college, and yeah they do have a kind of requirements but it can be fulfilled with two english courses, and rest language and science courses i think, back to fa’s, clark is very flexable when it comes to acomodating a wide range of financial situations so i think it should be pretty large in sum, if not they always have the MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN to consider, or if you want to really go you can always go towards student loans federal or private.</p>

<p>clark’s geo program is top-notch, hope you good luck!</p>
