Academic Plan
I have wanted to study abroad in Barcelona since 1st year and have ensured that all my degree requirements will be satisfied while abroad. As a Life Sciences Major, I must complete 120 units total. I have already completed all of my core and supporting courses (BIOL 102, BIOL 103, CHEM 112, BCHM 218, MICR 271, CHEM 281, CHEM 282, PHGY 215 and 216, PHYS 106/107, and MATH 121/124).
In total, I must take 30 units of LISC List A courses. I am required to take 6 units from LISC List A which I satisfied by taking PSYC 100. I must take 6 units at the LISC list A at the 200 level or above. Last semester I took STAM 200 and this semester I am taking PHGY 290 to satisfy those requirements. I must take 15 units of LISC LIST A at the 300 level or above and 3 units of LISC LIST A at the 400 level or above. I have started this by taking PHAR 380 and BCHM 370. This means I am required to take 12 units at the 300/400 level. To fulfill these requirements I plan to take four of the following courses in fourth year; BIOL 339, BIOL 334, BCHM 441, LISC 400, PHGY 350, and HSCI 383. I have chosen 6 courses I am interested in, in case I am unable to get into my top choices.
Besides my core, supporting, and option courses, I am required to take 48 units of elective courses. I have started this by taking IDIS 173, GLPH 271, GLPH 281, GLPH 471, and IDIS 199. In fourth year, I will take 6 electives to satisfy this requirement. Some fourth year elective courses that interest me include; IDIS 280, MUSC 114, ENIN 301, ENGL 100, and HLTH 101.I hope to take 15 units (5 courses) while studying abroad in Barcelona which will count toward my elective courses. The courses I am hoping to take as my elective courses in Barcelona include; Urban intervention, graffiti and public sculpture, Intercultural communications, Spanish contemporary art, Entrepreneurship and new venture communication, and Mediterranean politics. These courses fall under several different disciplines, allowing me to expand my horizons. As mentioned in my appeal letter, I hope to pursue a career in dentistry. Many dental schools require 2 electives that can include art, business, and Mediterranean studies. The elective courses Spanish contemporary art, Urban intervention, graffiti, and public sculpture, and Mediterranean politics would satisfy these requirements.
Overall, I have worked hard to curate my academic plan to not only satisfy my requirements, but take courses that will challenge myself, making me a well rounded student.
