To fulfill BMS track requirements, students must complete ten or more biology courses, each of which must be at least three credits. They must also complete three chemistry courses for a total of 13 credit-bearing science courses:
at least one course from each of the following four groups:
Cell and Molecular Biology
Ecology and Environmental Biology
Further Considerations
Substitutions
BMS Students whose career preparations require successful completion of science and mathematics courses outside of biology may substitute one course from those areas for certain biology courses with the approval of the department chair. Moreover, two 2-credit biology courses numbered 200 or greater completed during the May Experience can be combined to fulfill one of the elective course requirements for either the B.A. or B.S. degree.
Further considerations
Students planning to teach biology in secondary schools must complete a major in the field to obtain licensure. These students must also successfully complete:
