DEPARTMENT POLICIES: Course Substitution Policy

At least half of the upper-division courses (Biology 100-190) required for each major must be taken through the Biological Sciences program at UC Santa Cruz, not as transfer credits from another department or institution. Transfer students are advised to contact the BioAdvising Office before enrolling in numerous upper-division courses at other institutions.

A maximum of one upper-division degree requirement may be met with a 5-unit research-based biology independent study (Biology 183L, 185L, 186L, 195, 198 or 199) or graduate-level biology course (Biology 200-279) or a course offered by another UCSC department.
