Course Flowsheets

These interactive guides provide a semester-by-semester outline of the courses within a curriculum in a "flowsheet" format. The flowsheets enable students and advisors to visualize the pre-, co-, and post-requisites associated with a course. This tool provides a means for students to understand how courses within a curriculum are linked and provides guidance regarding course scheduling.

The effective academic year (AY) refers to the academic year a student is admitted to the major. Academic years listed with a red font represent years in which a curriculum revision was implemented. Please see the Undergraduate Catalog for detailed information regarding effective academic years.

Students can obtain the requirement term (map to effective academic year) associated with their major through the SEAS Portal.

If you have any issues using the flowsheets tool or need assistance, please contact the SEAS Office of Academic Affairs to meet with an academic advisor.

General Notes:

Within the flowsheet presented above, students are expected to satisfy four of the five UB Areas and the Diversity Learning requirement via the four Thematic/Global pathway courses shown. List 3 Thematic and Global pathway courses are expected to be completed within the major. Please see the pathways website for more information.

Course Specific Notes:

EAS 200: students are permitted to use EE 202 Circuit Analysis as a course substitute

BE 202: students are permitted to use BIO 201/211 Cell Biology as a course substitute

BE 309: Effective Fall 2021, students should complete CHE 203 Organic Chemistry 1 to satisfy this requirement. Prehealth students should also complete the CHE 205 lab.

BE 310: students are permitted to use CHE 202 (pre-fall 2021) or CHE 204 and CHE 206 as a course substitute

These online flowsheets have been prepared to assist you in determining the standard course flow for each major. While efforts have been made to ensure their accuracy, final responsibility for meeting graduation requirements resides with you. Using this tool does not take the place of meeting with your academic advisor.
