The department strongly recommends that two out of BIO 366; BIO 335; BIO 340 or BIO 345 or BIO 240 be completed before taking other BIO courses at the 300 or 400 level. A “C” (2.00) or better average is required for BIO courses above 299.
Must complete general requirements for B.S. Degree in Biology. Additionally, must take a minimum of 19 hours chosen from BIO courses numbered above 299. No more than 10 hours from BIO 480, BIO 491, BIO 493, BIO 498, and BIO 499 can be counted towards the elective 19 hours. This program is designed to meet the needs of biology majors to immediately begin a career in biology or who may wish to pursue further education in graduate school in biology or professional schools in the health sciences.
Biology offers several concentrations: Pre-Health, Pre- Veterniary Medicine, Terrestrial and Freshwater Conservation. To learn more look here.
