BIOLOGY B.S. 2008-09
Sponsored by: Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and Molecular Cell & Developmental Biology
The general biology majors permit flexibility, but demand careful attention to one’s own interests and plans. Each student should select courses on the basis of up-to-date information in consultation with a biology faculty advisor whose interests reflect the student’s interests. The requirements for the biology B.S. follow a similar pattern to those for the biology B.A., but are more rigorous to ensure a stronger level of scientific preparation.
