The major in Biology provides a background in the chemical, mathematical, and physical sciences, as well as extensive preparation in the biological sciences. This diverse background offers the graduate numerous opportunities for careers in and outside of traditional biology.
The major in Biology consists of 46 credit hours of required core courses and 18 credit hours in one of three concentrations. Students may choose concentrations in Ecology, General Biology, and Pre-professional Education. Elective offerings are ample to provide individual diversity. Students should contact their advisor for assistance in choosing the appropriate elective courses to meet their individual needs. Note: Additional upper-division courses must be taken outside the Department to fulfill the upper-division graduation requirement.
