Additional courses: (26-27 Credits)

Students are required to take an additional 26-27 credits as noted below. Following completion of BIOL 121  and BIOL 122 , students need to select one of the following three concentrations in accordance with their career goals with assistance from their academic advisers.

A grade of ‘C’ or better is required in all major requirements, BIOL 121 /BIOL 121L , BIOL 122 /BIOL 122L , and additional biology electives. All biology electives must be selected from 300-400 level courses offered by the Department of Biology (prefix BIOL), except that a student may take up to eight credit hours of coursework from biology related courses offered by other departments (prefix other than BIOL) toward his/her biology electives.
