KEEP IN MIND...
- For the B.S. degree, a minimum of 9 of the 15 upper-level electives must be BIO courses (i.e must have a BIO prefix).
- For the B.A. with Topical Focus, a minimum of 9 of the 15 upper-level electives must be BIO courses
- For the B.A. with Minor option, a minimum of 6 of the 4-9 upper-level elective credit hours must be BIO courses. If fewer than 6 hours are required to complete the requirements, all hours must be BIO courses
- For the Biology minor, a minimum of 4 of the elective credit hours must be BIO courses (i.e. courses with BIO prefix)
Biology
BIO 3xx, BIO 4xx, BIO 5xx, BIO 6xx that does not already count for Tier I and Tier II core courses.
BIO 425: When BIO 425 is taken the first time, it counts towards "2nd Tier Seminar"; a second section in the same or subsequent semester may be taken as an elective.
*Excludes any BIO courses already required for degree program*
