or higher (Biol 107 allowed only for the Env Sci concentration); must include
at least one course from each of the four groups listed below; minimum
of 20 hours of biology electives must be at or above the 300 level.

No more than 6 hours in biology can be
used for free Electives unless the total credits exceed 122.
Chemistry elective: any chemistry
course with a lab at the 200 level or above will satisfy this requirement,
but CHEM 315-316 Biochemistry or CHEM 214 Quantitative Analysis is recommended.
Recommended free electives: BIOL 107 Environmental
Biology, HUM 210 Intro Sustainability.
Students may substitute BIOL 461-462 plus
three more hours for the BIOL 463-464-465 only with permission of the Chair
or Course Director.
Minimum total credits for degree: 122.
Minimum GPA of 2.0 in biology courses is
required for graduation. Transfer students must take at least 20
hours ob biolgoy at or above the 300 level at Christian Brothers University.
ALG 110, 115, 120; MATH 100, 103; ENG 100;
