Students who are exempt from Principles of Biology but have not received credit via advanced placement or CLEP must take an additional 4 hours of credit in elective courses related to their major.

2. Bibliographic Practicum, BIOL 2001

3. Biology CORE: BIOL 2533; BIOL 3023; BIOL 3323; BIOL 3863 and a minimum of 1 hr. of laboratory selected from BIOL 2531L, BIOL 3321L or BIOL 3861L

4. BOTY 2404/2400L

5. Three courses from among the following choices, including a minimum of two labs: BOTY 4104/4100L; BOTY 4424/4420L; BIOL 4503; BIOL 4513, 4511L; BIOL 4523; BIOL 4724/4720L; BIOL 4824

6. Six hours of credit in elective courses related to the biology of plants, algae, and/or fungi.

The Fulbright College writing requirement must be met from courses that require a paper, BIOL 498V Senior Thesis, or by an honors thesis.

Requirements in cognate science and mathematics include:

a. CHEM 1103/1101L (may be completed by advanced placement), CHEM 1123/1121L, CHEM 3603/3601L CHEM 3613/3611L, CHEM 3813
