Biology (B.S.) (2004)
Administered by Biological and Allied Health Sciences
Effective Fall, 2004
Biology majors should schedule 50.290 Writing in Biology in their sophomore year. If 50.290 cannot be scheduled, 20.201 English Composition II may be substituted. In addition to general education requirements, additional free elective hours are required to meet the university requirement for a baccalaureate degree.
A maximum of 3 credits hr of 50.490 may be applied as biology elective credit toward the degree. A maximum of 6 credits hr from among 50.445, 50.390, 50.391, 50.490, 50.493 and 50.494 may be applied as biology elective credit toward the degree.
Students may choose an option in
- microbiology
- biotechnology
