Freshmen
If you have satisfied one or more courses by Advance Placement ("AP") from high school, enroll in the next course in the series (e.g. if "AP" credit exempts you from MATH 20A, enroll in MATH 20B).
Freshmen and Transfer Students
Go to http://www.ucsd.edu.catalog.courses.BENG.html to read the Bioengineering (BENG) departmental course descriptions in the UCSD General Catalog. Additionally, visit similar sites to review the course descriptions for courses required in your major that are offered by other departments.
If, after reviewing your major's requirements, you have questions and wish to contact Bioengineering Student Affairs academic advisors, do so preferably via the Virtual Advising Center (VAC) at http://vac.ucsd.edu or visit be-uginfo@bioeng.ucsd.edu.
