Biology Requirements

Biology Major: BIOL 120 (General Biology 1), 121 (General Biology 2), and 244 (Genetics), General Chemistry (CHEM 105 and 107) plus a concentration from below:
Organismal Biology Concentration: BIOL 201, 228, CHEM 220 or CHEM 216, plus five electives in Biology numbered 200 or above. Physics (PHYS 111 and 112, or 121 and 122), Basic Statistics (SSCI 224 or BUAD 284), a computer science course, and Calculus (MATH 124 or 131) are highly recommended.
Biomedical Sciences Concentration: CHEM 211, 220, 222, and 350, plus any six BIOL electives from BIOL220, 320, 350, 360, 365, 368, 371, 372, 373, 381, 382, 395, and 495. Physics (PHYS 121 and 122), Basic Statistics (SSCI 224 or BUAD 284) a computer science course, and Calculus (MATH 124 or 131) are highly recommended.

Biology majors are also required to complete the Major Field Achievement Test in Biology during specified testing periods once after completing BIOL 121 and again during the second semester of their senior year.

Course choices should be made through advisement, with the student's interests and objectives in mind. Advanced students are strongly encouraged to pursue Independent Study (BIOL 428 or 490) and Research (BIOL 492 or 496).

Biology Minor (6 courses): BIOL 120 (General Biology 1) and BIOL 121 (General Biology 2) plus four electives numbered 200 or above.

Biology Teaching Minor (6 courses): BIOL 120 (General Biology 1) and BIOL 121 (General Biology 2), an environmental course (ENVS 300 or SSCI301 fulfills the conservation requirement for the State Department of Public Instruction) and three electives numbered 200 or above.
