Electives 0 Credits

Certain major/cognate courses may also satisfy GE requirements thus increase elective credits accordingly.

Total Credits minimum 120

Additional Degree Requirements

A minimum grade of C is required in all BIO courses.
A minimum overall GPA of 2.5 in all required major courses (Major Departmental Requirements).
Completion of all college-wide degree requirements (Undergraduate Degree Requirements , General Education Program ).

Note:

*BIO 101  and BIO 102  may be taken in order (i.e., BIO 101  is not the prerequisite for BIO 102 ) and satisfy departmental major requirements.
**BIO 490  (12 cr.) satisfies the Cell Biology (BIO 401 , 4 cr.) the Advanced Writing Requirement (BIO 380 , 3 cr.), Oral Expression (General Education Skills, 0 cr.) and five biology elective credits.
***Students completing the clinical training in cytotechnology are exempt from the Integration component of the General Education program.
****BIO 333  if used to satisfy cognate requirements cannot also count towards the elective course in the Major Departmental Requirements.
