PROGRAM
OF EMPHASIS
Title: Biology (starting with students
in the Fall of 2007)
All POEs using the
words Biology, Biological Science(s) or Zoology must meet the course
requirements of this Biology designated POE.
General Requirements
A minimum of 18 credit hours of advanced biology
coursework (Biology designated courses numbered in the 300's and 400's). The following courses also qualify: CH 301: BMBI, CH 416: BMBIII, ESS 320:
Environmental Monitoring, ESS 325: Conservation Biology, PY 401: Comparative
Psychology, PY 402: Evolutionary Psychology
CH 105, CH 106 and CH 230. (four semester sequence
recommended; required for many graduate programs)
Either PC 200 and 201 or PC
202 and PC 203 each with PC 206 and PC 207. (8 credits)
MA 130, Calculus I or BI 305, Biostatistics
[some graduate programs may require Calculus]
Specific Requirements
The following courses must be taken. Substitutions and transfer credit require
the approval of the Biology Department.

distribution requirement: At least one course must be taken from each
core group. Of these four courses, two
must have an associated laboratory.
Three credits of research (BI 489) on the same project may count as a
core laboratory course. The core
classification will be determined by the research advisor.
