2011 - 2012 Catalog of Courses [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Biology Major - Cellular and Molecular Biology Option
|
|
 Return to: Majors, Options, and Minors
The Cellular and Molecular Biology option is designed to prepare students for graduate study in cell and molecular biology or to find employment in the biotechnology and health care industries. Students with this major are highly sought after in forensics technology, pharmaceutical development, and industries involving bioinformatics and gene discovery. This option is ideal for students preparing for post-baccalaureate careers as physicians, physician’s assistants, dentists, or in naturopathic medicine.

REQUIREMENTS FOR A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE WITH A MAJOR IN BIOLOGY - CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OPTION:
Specific Departmental Requirements:
Subtotal Specific Departmental Requirements - Credits: 42
Auxiliary Requirements from Other Departments:
Subtotal Auxiliary Requirements - Credits: 31
Recommended Electives (for students anticipating application to medical or graduate school): Math 221 Calculus I and Phys 201 and 202, Physics-Non Calculus I and II. Total Major Requirements - Credits: 73
Free Electives (variable)
TOTAL REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION - CREDITS: 120
Note: Among the minimum 120 credits required for the degree, 45 credits must be upper-division (300- and 400-level) courses.
Note: The following courses require a grade of C- or better for continued progression through the degree program: BIO 112 , BIO 113 , BIO 206 , BIO 207 , BIO 260 .
Note: Students double majoring in Chemistry-Biochemistry Option and Biology-General or Biology-Cellular and Molecular Biology Option may take the senior seminar sequence in either chemistry (Chem 496 and 497) or biology (Bio 496 and 497); these students do not have to take both senior seminar sequences.
Note to transfer and former students: If you have taken any of your major requirements and received a different number of credits than listed above, you may need to complete additional major credit requiremen
*Biology-Cellular and Molecular Biology majors may meet the Math 121 auxiliary requirement with a higher-level Math course, such as Math 210, 221 or 222. Cellular and Molecular Biology Option Suggested Course Sequence
1 The math course that a student will take is determined by a placement test. There are five levels of math that one may enter. Placement into a course lower than Math 110 will delay this schedule, and placement into a higher course than Math 110 will accelerate it.
2 During these semesters students should take additional courses in preparation for biology career, medical school, veterinary, or graduate school. Your biology faculty advisor can help you with the selection of these courses.
3 Courses offered fall term only.
4 Courses offered winter term only. |
