Additional Information and Notes

* 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.

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 total credits required for graduation.

A maximum 4 credits from BIO 407 , BIO 408N , BIO 416 , BIO 418 , BIO 420 , or BIO 422  may be used to fulfill one BIO Elective; additional credits will count as Free Electives. Secondary Education minors must select BIO 320 , and one course in Geological Sciences.

‡ B.A. Biology majors are strongly urged to elect a Computer Science course and one year of Physics.

† At least two of the following must have a lab: the Plant or Animal elective, the Structure/Function elective or Ecology/Evolution elective, the BIO elective.
