In addition to completing the general education curriculum requirements, students pursuing a major in Biology must complete program requirements.  The program offers a Bachelor of Science in Biology with the following criteria:

• 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 or minor and to enroll in upper level biology courses.  These courses fulfill PG2, Laboratory Science and the Natural World, of the Ethos Curriculum.
• CHEM 1101 and 1102 (MATH 1101 is prerequisite)
• 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)
• Organic Chemistry I (CHEM 3201) and Organic Chemistry II (CHEM 3202)
• Introductory Physics I (PHYS 1101) and Introductory Physics II (PHYS 1102) (MATH 1221 is the prerequisite)
• BIOL 4470—Senior Seminar
• Five (5) 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 57 semester hours of coursework in addition to the Core requirements.

No more than one approved upper-level course taken as a transient student at another institution may fulfill one of the biology major courses.  All BIOL courses and CHEM 4421 and 4422 must be completed with a grade of C- or better to fulfill graduation requirements and to fulfill prerequisite requirements for other courses.
