Biology

Six courses from the following (including either BIO-307 or BIO-311 and at least three at the 400-level):

All of the following:

It is strongly recommended students intending to take upper-level chemistry courses or preparing for graduate school take MAT-212 Calculus II (4) and PHY-101 and PHY-102, General Physics I, II (8)

*For students entering with the Empower and Engage General Education program, BIO-111 may fulfill their General Education course in Scientific Reasoning requirement; it does not count towards their major. However, it must be taken as a necessary pre-requisite to subsequent courses in the Biology major

All requirements for the Major. Upper level courses must include both BIO-307 Ecology and BIO-311 Evolution. Students are required to take PHY-101 General Physics I. PHY-102 General Physics II is strongly recommended. In addition, students take the professional education courses offered by the Education Department.

All required courses for a Major in Biology plus General Physics I and II (PHY-101, PHY-102), Mathematics through Calculus I (MAT-211), and Biochemistry I and II. 

The following course choices strongly recommended: Vertebrate Anatomy, Microbiology, Animal Physiology, Immunology and Cell and Molecular Biology. Calculus II (MAT-212) and Basic Statistics (MAT-215) are highly recommended. 

See Pharmacy Studies for a detailed description of program.

The student follows the Program of Study that is outlined in the Liberal Arts section of the Catalog. Students should select courses with the assistance of a faculty adviser and be aware that course cycling will impact upper-level course selection.
