For students entering the University after 2006
This program is designed for students with a strong interest in a
multidisciplinary approach to biological problems in preparation for
graduate study in biological or health sciences.
Students must fulfill all General Education requirements with these
restrictions and additions:
- Foundations: Foreign language through
level 4 (level 4 may be taken P/D/D+/F unless 4 is placement level).
- Foundations: Quantitative reasoning:
MATH 231 or 241 and MATH 232 or 283.
- Approaches: Physical and life sciences:
CHEM 101/101L and BIOL 101/101L with a grade C or better.
In addition students must complete the
following courses:
- BIOL 201, 202, and 205 (core courses for biology majors)
- CHEM 102/102L and 261
- COMP 116
- MATH 233
- PHYS 104 and 105, or 116 and 117
- STOR 155
- Two laboratory courses. One must be a quantitative laboratory chosen
from BIOL 452 or 526. The other can be any biology laboratory course,
including two semesters of BIOL 395.
- A choice of three biology electives, of which at least two
quantitative electives must be chosen from BIOL 405, 452*, 454, 526*,
542, 551, 562, or 642 (*asterisked courses cannot count as both a
quantitative laboratory and a quantitative elective).
- A choice of two allied sciences electives or additional biology
courses numbered above 201 (not including 213, 291, 292, 293, 295, 296,
396, and 692H). Premedical students are encouraged to take CHEM 241/241L
and 262/262L.
- Students must also fulfill the Foundations, Approaches, and
Connections requirements and take enough free electives to accumulate
127 academic hours.
Suggested program of study for the
quantitative track:
- First year:
BIOL 101/101L; CHEM 101/101L, 102/102L; ENGL 101, 102; language levels 2, 3;
MATH 214 or 231, 232 or 283; lifetime fitness; Approaches (two courses).
- Sophomore year:
Two of three biology core courses (201, 202, 205); CHEM 261, 262/262L if
premed; COMP 116; language level 4; MATH 233; STOR 155; Approaches (one
course).
- Junior year:
Remaining biology core course; biology electives including one quantitative
laboratory (three courses); PHYS 104 and 105, or 116 and 117; Approaches and
Connections (three courses).
- Senior year:
Second laboratory course; biology electives (two courses); allied sciences
elective (CHEM 241/241L if premed); Approaches and Connections; electives to
accumulate 127 academic hours.
