What does it mean that the group of students admitted to the major each year takes all required courses as a group?
Students accepted into the major in the Autumn Quarter must start the program the following Winter Quarter. The group takes Nbio 301 in the Winter, 302 in the Spring, and the sequence of four 400-level courses the next year. Since the courses are open only to NBio majors, you will be with the same group of students throughout the sequence of required courses, and your registration in those courses is guaranteed at the time you start the program. Students in each year of the program get to know each other well, and find a sense of community that enriches their entire university experience.
