A student desiring to declare a major in either General Biology or Biology/Pre-Medicine must first complete the Pre-Biology Core courses with a “C-” or better, and must select the Pre-BIology Program for freshmen and sophomores until these courses have been successfully completed. Some of these courses are cross-referenced as General Education Core Requirements.
The two Science Field Study courses can range in credit hours (1-4 credits) depending on extent of research. Department Chair and/or Dean approval required for enrollment.
Chemistry and Physics - 25 Hours
Students are required to earn a grade of “C-” or better in all Chemistry and Physics courses.
Please note that these must be courses in addition to those of a required major or minor—i.e. a student cannot use a course to fulfill both a requirement of his/her major and a requirement of this particular concentration.
Please note that BIOL 2403 & BIOL 240L will not count toward a Biology or Biology/PreMed major. They are not Biology Specialization courses. For those degrees, they count as electives.
