2004 Biology

Marine Science Option (2004)

Administered by Department of Biological and Allied Health Sciences

Effective Fall, 2004

This option provides the biology major with the opportunity to specialize in marine biology while obtaining a foundation in the fundamental principles of biological science. Program specific courses in marine biology are offered at the Marine Science Center, Wallops Island, Va., a field station supported by the department. A total of 12 cr hr of Marine Science courses must be distributed across required course options and electives.

Students in these options 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.

Foreign language requirement. Choose any one of the following courses: 10.101 French 1,10.102 French 2, 10.203 French 3; 10.204 French 4; 11.101 German 1, 11.102 German 2, 11.203 German 3, 11.204 German 4; 12.101 Spanish 1;12.102 Spanish 2, 12.203 Spanish 3, 12.204 Spanish 4; 13.102 Russian 2, 13.203 Russian 3, 13.204 Russian 4; 14.102 Italian 2; or 16.106 Chinese 2.

A maximum of 3 cr hr of 50.490 may be applied as biology elective credit toward the degree. A maximum of 6 cr 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.
