The curriculum in
Biology is designed for those students who are interested in careers in
the life sciences, including various biomedical careers, basic or
applied research, or industrial fields. The course of study outlined
below is a general plan, and any individual student would select their
own unique curriculum with the aid of their faculty advisor.
Biology 1301 and
1401 are intended for entering freshman in order to introduce them to
the major while enrolled in the introductory chemistry courses
(Chemistry 1211, 1211L, 1212, 1212L). Students who have had a chemistry
course in high school are encouraged to enroll in Biology 1107K
(Principles of Biology I). Transfer or AP students should enroll in
Biology 1107K. As always, all courses should be discussed with your
advisor.
