Biology major leading to BA degree

A major in biology leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree consists of 37 credits in science and mathematics, with at least 27 credits in biology, as follows:

1.  BIOL 111 and 113, 340 or 340S*; CHEM 110
2. At least 20 additional biology credits not used to satisfy the above requirements. Must include at least two laboratory courses (indicated by *) and at least one course from three of the four categories below. BIOL 401-403 and 422-424 may be used as non-laboratory courses toward any category, depending on the topic and by prior agreement with the instructor and department. No more than six credit hours of work at the 400 level may apply toward the major.
