Notes
- BIOL 171 and BIOL 172 are offered every semester and can be taken in either order.
- BIOL 101-101L are non-major courses and do not count toward the major or minor in Biology.
- Students should begin Chemistry courses their freshman year if they plan to complete their academic program in four years. Chemistry courses are often prerequisites for required Biology classes.
- Students must earn a minimum grade of "C-" in all required and prerequisite courses.
- Students must earn at least a 2.0 GPA in courses required for the major.
