The recommended four-year plan is designed to provide a blueprint for students to complete their degrees within four years. Students must meet with their Major Advisor to develop a more individualized plan to complete their degree. This plan assumes that no developmental courses are required. If developmental courses are needed, students may have additional requirements to fulfill which are not listed in the plan and may extend degree completion.
NOTE: This recommended Four-Year Plan is applicable to students admitted into the major during the 2023-2024 academic year. Please note the year and semester of each course due to course offerings.

* These courses are offered in alternate years, which would require prior planning by the student. Immunology is offered in even years; Histology in odd years.
**Gen Ed Distribution Categories: two of the three categories are required. One course must be outside of the School of Theoretical and Applied Science.
In case the course is offered in student’s year 2, these courses should be taken then, and the Gen Ed course can be taken in year 3.
NOTE: Student’s application to SHRP is due in the fall of year 3, to start the program after the spring. (Rutgers Program is > 15 months, beginning in the summer of year 3.)
Note: Three writing intensive courses are required in the major and /or school core. Consult with your advisor.
