	Students in all ISU majors must complete a three-credit course in U.S. diversity and a three-credit course in international perspectives. Check (http://www.registrar.iastate.edu/courses/div-ip-guide.html) for a list of approved courses.
	LAS majors require a minimum of 120 credits, including a minimum of 45 credits at the 300-level and above. You must also complete the LAS foreign language requirement and any high school unmet admission requirements.
¹	Students must pass the School administered English Usage Test (EUT) in accordance with the following guidelines: Students entering the School as freshmen pre-advertising or pre-journalism and mass communications majors, whose entrance is not accompanied by a pre0entrance score on the ACT-E of26 or higher, or an SAT-V schore of 590 or higher, will have one calendar year from the start of their first term as a Pre-Advrt or Pre-Jl MC major to meet the requirement for the English Usage Test. Students entering the School as transfer students, either from other institutions or from within Iowa State, must pass the School's English Usage Test or provide evidence of having received a score on the ACT-E of 26 or higher, or SAT-V of 590 or higher, by the end of their second full academic term in the School as a pre-major.
²	Advrt majors need a broad-based academic background that the School seeks to ensure by requiring a Designated Area of Concentration (DAC made up of 21 credits with at least 12 credits from the 300-level or above of coursework outside Greenlee. The DAC is a secondary area of expertise make up of courses selected and designed by the student, with adviser approval,m to complement the student's academic and career interest. A second major outside of Advrt or Jl MC may substitute for the DAC.

	Students must have 120 credits minimum to graduate.
	This is only a suggested outline plan. Students may choose or be forced to deviate from this plan to satisfy unmet requirements, for scheduling reasons, or to add a minor or double major. We strongly suggest student involvement in internships, study abroad, summer field stations, Iowa Lakeside Lab, Field Trips in Biology or research opportunities at ISU. These will; enhance your program of study but may add credits or time to your degree plan.
	Students are required to take 21 credits in advance biology of which 9 credits must be from the Biology Program, (BIOL), and 2 advanced BIOL courses must have a lab or field component.
*	Students should meet with a Biology Program advisor to determine the proper plans for chemistry, math and physics before selecting those options above.
