Advising by Department of Biology

Must earn "C" or better in each course

 

I. BASIC REQUIREMENTS

II. ADVANCED PROGRAM (21 CREDITS)

A. Statistics or Biochemistry (3 cr.) : One course from any of the following: BIOM 301; BCHM 461; BCHM 463; STAT 464 or PSYC 200 (requires permission of the PSYC department).

B. Upper Level Courses (18 cr.): At least 14 of the required 18 credits must be from courses listed below. Up to 4 credits from courses not listed below may be used for UL credits if they are 200 level or higher and approved for the Biological Sciences major, including a second organismal diversity course (BSCI 223, BSCI 224, BSCI 225, or BSCI 227). 200-level courses will NOT be counted as an UL laboratory. Two upper level (300-400) laboratory/field courses (designated with;L). One principles' course (2-4 cr.) is required in each of the areas A, B, and C listed below. Any courses taken from areas A, B, or C above the one course requirement will be counted as an elective towards the18 credit requirement.
