BIOL 392, 395 and BIOL 399 do not count toward the 300-level electives, instead they may be used to satisfy missing credit hours (if necessary) to reach 36 hours of Biology.
The major in Biology requires the achievement of a grade of C- or higher in all required Biology courses and required supportive courses.
Students pursuing pre-professional programs should expect to take CHEM 116 and CHEM 117, as most Graduate Programs will look for that sequence in addition to CHEM 201.
Additional courses in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics are strongly recommended for majors who intend to pursue further studies or employment in biology.
A Biology major wishing to teach at the secondary level is advised to obtain at least 12 credit hours in a second discipline (for example, in Chemistry or Physics) if he or she desires to be certified to teach in that content area.
Biology majors may choose a special emphasis area by taking specific electives within their major.
