My Four-Year Plan
In my time at UW, I have completed a B.S. double major in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, with certificates in Mathematics and Biology in Engineering. There are a multitude of ways to complete these majors and certificates. Here's how I got it done. I also note that I had a lot of help from my high school curriculum, and was fortunate to be able to take a large number of college credit–awarding classes.
Color key: ■ Chemistry ■ Chemical Engineering ■ Mathematics/Statistics ■ Biology ■ General/Electives
Symbol key: * Difficult course + Rewarding course % Very useful course
