Biology Electives: minimum
of 31 hours of biology electives 200 level or higher; 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.
| |
Group
I |
human and biomedical
biology |
BIOL 211 Embryology;
217 Anatomy & Physiology I with 218 Anatomy & Physiology II (both
must be taken); 236 Nutrition; 312 Human Physiology;
414 Histology, 451 Neuroscience |
| |
Group II |
organismal biology |
BIOL 212 Comparative Anatomy;
216 Botany; 335 Invertebrate Zoology; 369 Herpetology;
413 Parasitology |
| |
Group III |
evolutionary biology
and ecology |
BIOL 346 Evolution; 381
Animal Behavior; BIOL 398 Wetland Ecology; 412 Ecology; 304
Limnology |
| |
Group IV |
cell and molecular biology |
BIOL 321 Microbiology; 367 Pharmacology;
370 Toxicology; 415 Immunology; 421 Cell Biology |
Minimum of 12 hours of free electives with
no more than 6 hours in biology unless the total credits exceeds 122.
Chemistry elective: any chemistry
course with a lab at the 200 level or above will satisfy this requirement,
but CHEM 315 Biochemistry I or CHEM 214 Quantitative Analysis are recommended.
Students may substitute BIOL 461-462 (Independent
Research) plus three more hours for BIOL 463-464-465 (Mentored Research)
only with permission of the Chair or Course Director.
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 of biolgoy at or above the 300 level at Christian Brothers University.
ALG 110, 115, 120; MATH 100, 103; and ENG
100 do not fulfill the free electives requirement (effective with the 2011-2012
catalog).
