@ Requirements so marked should be completed within the first 53 credits of study (i.e., before Junior status). Exceptions will be made for transfer students.
* These are required support courses which may also be used to satisfy the indicated Distribution requirements. A student may choose to fulfill Distribution
requirements with courses other than the ones listed, but these listed courses must still be taken.
** Electives within the major are to be chosen from 300 to 400 level courses, exclusive of BIO 302T, 304, 324, and 328. A maximum 4 credits from BIO 407,
408N, 416, 418, 420 or 422 may be used to fulfill one BIO Elective; additional credits will count as Free Electives. Secondary Education minors must select BIO
320 (General Ecology), and one course in Geological Sciences.
^ The Cell/Molecular or Structure/Function elective must be chosen from 400-level courses AND have a laboratory.
% The sequence can be chosen from PHS 211A and 212A, College Physics I and II or Physics 221 and 222, General Physics with Calculus I and II.
Note: If a course is used to satisfy two or more requirements (for example, a support course and a distribution elective), the credits are counted in only one place. Using
a course to satisfy more than one requirement does not reduce the credit total required for graduation.
Total credits for graduation: 126 Effective: 9/04
