In addition to completing the general education curriculum requirements, students pursuing a major in Biology must complete the following major program requirements.

The program offers a Bachelor of Arts in Biology with the following criteria:

• Core or Ethos Curriculum (including BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L; A C- or better is required in these courses to declare the biology major and to enroll in upper level biology courses).  
• CHEM 1101 and 1102
• Choice of MATH 1114, MATH 1221, or MATH 2221 (in addition to the Core math requirement)
  OR
• A total of two (2) MATH courses for Ethos curriculum; choose from Ethos PG1 MATH 1101, MATH 1221, or MATH 2221 and choose from MATH 1114, MATH 1221, or MATH 2221 for the biology major requirements 
• Choice of one (1) cellular-level biology course (BIOL 3321, 3322, 3360, 3370, 3372, 3373, 3374, 3376)
• Choice of one (1) organismal-level biology course (BIOL 3334, 3335, 3336, 3340, 3351, 3353, 3384)
• BIOL 4470—Senior Seminar
• Six (6) additional upper level biology courses (Biochemistry I or II, CHEM 4421 or CHEM 4422, may be chosen as one of these courses. BIOL 2148 or 2149 may be counted as one of these courses.)  BIOL 4470 and BIOL 4496 do not satisfy this requirement. 

This represents 45 semester hours of coursework in addition to the Core requirements.
