Three additional 300 or 400 level Biology courses excluding: Biology 337: Internship in Biology. At least one course must be a 4-credit course with a laboratory.
Through a four-year plan developed in consultation with an academic advisor, students develop a program of elective coursework in a variety of subjects individualized to their career goals.
Specific requirements of particular post-graduate institutions should be ascertained early in the undergraduate program because they may require courses for admission beyond the minimum required for the B.A. in biology. The Major in Biology is not open to students majoring in Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, or Environmental Science.
