Tailor Your Biology Degree To Your Interests- Declare a Track!

Beginning in Fall 2018, students who have earned at least 45 credit hours can declare a track within their Biology B.S. or B.A. (not for Option A, only for Option B--with a Topical Focus) degree.

HOW TO DECLARE A TRACK

To declare a track, go to myUK Student Services, and choose "Request a major change". Select the same major you are in, but include a "Specialization" which is the track.

COMPLETING THE TRACK

• To complete a track, 12 upper-level elective hours must be completed from the courses listed for each track. The remaining upper-level elective credit hours may come from the full list of approved electives.
• Six hours of independent research (BIO 394/395/397/398) can be counted toward the total upper-level electives, but only three hours of independent research can count toward the 12 hours required for each track other than General Biology.
• Of the total upper-level elective hours required, nine hours must have a BIO prefix.
