Core Curriculum Areas A-E (with Overlay Areas I, II and III) for Science Majors: 42


For more information on Core Curriculum Areas A-E, see the science track listed under Core Requirements .

Required Lower Division Courses (may be used in the Core Curriculum) and spill over hours from Area F: 1‑12


(Grade of C or better is required in all these courses.)

Major Concentration: 29-32


(Grade of C or better is required in all these courses).

Select four additional upper-division biology courses. At least one must come from the Physiology list, at least two must come from the Molecular list, and at least one of the Molecular electives must be a 4 hour course.

Physiology Electives

Molecular Electives

Free Electives: 14-17


Physical Education: 4


Total Hours for the Degree: 124


(A Senior Exit Examination is required of all graduating biology majors. A Scaled Score of 135 or higher on the ETS Major Field Test is required. Should a student fail to obtain a score of 135, he/she will be required to take the ETS Major Field Test a second time. Failure to obtain a score of 135 or higher on the second attempt will result in the student taking an oral exam administered by the Department of Biology.)

If a student does not successfully complete a biology course after two attempts (i.e., he/she receives a D, F, W, or WF), the student will be limited to specific registration times for any subsequent attempts. Any student meeting these criteria will not be allowed to register for the course until the last day of late registration. Appeals may be made to the Chair of the Department of Biology in hardship cases.

Students who declare a major in Cell and Molecular Biology will be classified as Pre-Biology majors until they complete MATH 1113  and BIOL 1108  with grades of C or better. Upon successful completion of these requirements, a student will be classified as a Cell and Molecular Biology major.
