Students can request permission from the department to have a BIO 390 SPECIAL TOPICS class count for one of the requirements if appropriate.

Two additional majors-level Biology courses.

At least two of the four biology electives must have a lab. Biology courses other than the General Biology sequence that have any Scientific Inquiry domain designation do not generate credit toward the major or minor.

Open Electives

Open elective credit also is required to meet the minimum graduation requirement of 192 hours.
