‡ - Life Sciences Alternative Curriculum (LSAC) is an option for students who anticipate entering the work force after graduation or pursuing a graduate degree in Medicinal Chemisty and Molecular Pharmacology, or a professional or medical degree program. LSAC allows for a number of substitutions/exemptions. Specifically, MA 22300/MA 23100 and 22400/23200 may substituted for MA 16500 and 16600 and STAT 30100 may be substituted for STAT 511. LSAC students are also exempt from taking MA 26100.
