BL 155-160 is the normal introductory sequence for biology and environmental science majors. If, for a reason acceptable to the department, BL 157, 158, and 160 are taken separately from BL 155, 156, and 159, the student is expected to take BL 155, 156, and 159 or their equivalents before taking the laboratory courses. Entering freshmen will receive advanced placement and/or advanced standing in accord with scores as described in the Undergraduate Bulletin.

Note: Students may earn a degree in only one of the Biology majors. Double and triple majors in biology are not permitted.

Note: A maximum of 3 credits of BL 398 and BL 399 combined will beaccepted for any of the biology majors.

Comprehensive Examination: Students in all biology majors are required to pass the Major Field Test (MFT) in Biology within 12 months prior to their anticipated graduation date.
