A program progression guide for the Neurobiology & Physiology degree program at Purdue University for the academic year 2021-2022. It provides information on degree requirements, university core curriculum, required major program courses, and degree electives. The guide is intended to assist students in developing an individualized 8-semester plan and is not an official notification of completion of degree or certificate requirements. Students are ultimately responsible for knowing, monitoring, and completing all degree requirements.

2020-21 Neurobiology & Physiology
Degree Progression Guide
The Department of Biological Sciences has suggested the following degree progression guide for the Neurobiology &
Physiology Degree. Students will work with their academic advisors to determine their best path to degree completion.
Course pre-requisites are specific to this degree plan.

Science Core Curriculum Options (one course needed for each requirement unless otherwise noted)
Options recommended for first- and second-year students Options recommended for third- and fourth-year students
UC (^) Select courses may also satisfy a University Core Curriculum requirement; see the University Core Requirement course list for approved courses. Students must have 32 credits at the 30000 level or above taken at Purdue.
CHM 12901^6 General Chemistry with a Biological Focus (5 cr.; fall)
CHM 25500 Organic Chemistry (3 cr.; both) and CHM 25501 Organic Chemistry Lab (1 cr.; both) and CHM 25600 Organic Chemistry (3 cr.; both) and CHM 25601 Organic Chemistry Lab (1 cr.; both)
PHYSICS Selectives: One of these two options:
UNIVERSITY CORE and COLLEGE OF SCIENCE CORE REQUIREMENTS Composition and Presentation; Teambuilding and Collaboration; Language and Culture; Great Issues; General Education; Multidisciplinary Experience; Mathematics; Statistics; Computing (see handout).
FREE ELECTIVES Approximately 14-26 credits
(^1) This course may count as the Intermediate Biology Selective and as the College of Science Teambuilding and Collaboration requirement. (^2) A 500-level BIOL course must be taken as part of requirement #10 or #14. (^3) A course chosen for requirement #10 may NOT be used for requirement #14. (^4) (omitted) (^5) This course may count for one of [a Neurobiology & Physiology Selective or as a Biology Selective] and as the College of Science Multidisciplinary requirement. (^6) Students who select 12901 for General Chemistry must take CHM 33900 and 33901. Students who end up with Special Case approval for some other
Gen Chem courses may choose the other Chem Selective options. (^7) This course may count for a Biology Selective and as the College of Science Multidisciplinary requirement. (^8) This course may count for the Biology Selective and as the College of Science Great Issues requirement and toward the Base Lab Requirement.
