*Required courses in
biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics satisfy
major requirements and 12 hours of the Core Curriculum.
**Upper division botany courses include: Bio 316,
Bio 322, Bio 371, and Bio 440. Upper division
zoology courses include: Bio 301, Bio 308, Bio
331, Bio 332, Bio 361, Bio 362, Bio 422, Bio 431,
Bio 433, Bio 442, and Bio 456. Upper division
ecology courses include: Bio 312, Bio 402, and
Bio 481.
***Must include at least 40 upper division (300
- 400 level) hrs.
Biology majors satisfy the Writing Intensive (WI)
requirement by completing Eng 101 and 102 (or
their equivalent) and three WI classes. Two of
the three must be upper division and at least
one of the two must be in the major.
Although not required
for the B.S. in Biology, some students may need
additional courses to meet admission requirements
for professional or graduate school. Students
should contact their advisor and prospective professional
or graduate school for information regarding the
specific courses required.
