In particular, the required courses cover the material in the first three examinations to an associateship in the major national actuarial soci- eties. The course work requires a grade of C or better, 12 of which must be completed at UF.

GENERAL EDUCATION: Refer to the Academic Advising section of this catalog to learn what mathematics courses) are required for the intended major. If calculus is not required, MGF 1202 is appropriate as a general education mathematics course. (Higher level courses may be taken if the student so desires). Those who must take calculus and whose high school math background is weak should begin with MAC 1142 and follow it with MAC 2233 or MAC 2311, whichever is required. Students who intend to take MAC 2233 may wish to take MAC 1140, instead of MAC 1142. (Credit cannot be received for both.) Students with strong backgrounds should consult an adviser about taking MAC 3472, MAC 3512 or placing ahead in the MAC 2311-2-3 sequence. PLACEMENT TEST: Placement and course equivalency information for SAT II, AP or IB test scores can be found in the Academic Advising section of this catalog. All students enrolling in MAC 2233, MAC 2311 or MAC 3472 must take the SAT II math level II-C (with scien- tific calculator) subject test prior to registration, unless a grade of C or better in MAC 1142 or AP/IB credit for MAC 2311 is on record in the registrar's office. Freshmen should take the test before they arrive on campus. There will be local adminis- tration for students missed the national test. Students who do not achieve the minimum score may repeat the placement test without prejudice. Students who cannot register for the above courses for lack of a passing placement test score, and who pass the test subsequently, may add the course during drop/add. Entering freshmen with SAT II scores in math level II-C (with scientific calculator) should consult the Schedule of Courses or the department regarding the appropriate sequence. FRESHMAN YEAR NOTE: To fulfill Gordon Rule, select courses to satisfy 12 hours in communication and 6 hours in computation. Many general education courses qualify; check the schedule of courses. Six hours of the general education credits must be coded international or diversity (I). This is only a sample program; it may need to be adjusted to reflect your background and goals. You should see a department adviser as early as possible to plan a program. Semester 1 Fall Credits MAC 2311 Calculus 1 (GE-M) ...........................4.

Refer espe- cially to the Majors and Minors in the College section for program variations and other clari- fying information. At the time this catalog went to press, sev- eral changes were pending universal tracking plans for majors and for course level (1000, 2000, etc.) for certain courses in the State University System. Students should consult the relevant department or 100 AAC for up-to-date course information. THE MAJOR: A major in microbiology and cell science may be taken by students in the College of Agriculture or the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The major requires course background in biology (BSC 2010, 2010L; BSC 2011, 2011L or AGR 3303; or equivalent); gen- eral chemistry (through CHM 2046, 2046L); organic chemistry (CHM 2210, 2211, 2211L); analytical chemistry (CHM 3120, 3120L); physics (PHY 2053, 2054, 2055L, 2056L); and cal- culus (MAC 2311). Major requirements include BCH 4024 or CHM 4207, MCB 3020C, MCB 4303, MCB 4403, PCB 5235, and at least seven credits of addi- tional junior and senior level department elec- tives, for a total of 25 credits. One advanced lab- oratory course is required. The seven credits may include up to three credits from the follow- ing courses: EES 6135, FOS 4222, FOS 4222L, SOS 5303C, CHM 3400 or CHM 4411.
