Requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Biology Biological Sciences Concentration
Biology Elective courses at the 300-400 level: 14 cr
These elective credits must be selected from 300-400 level BIOL classes at Marist, not including internships or research, and include at least two 4-credit BIOL courses which have a laboratory component. All 300-400 level BIOL classes have as prerequisites a grade of C or higher in BIOL 130L - General Biology I & BIOL 131L - General Biology II .
Upper-level BIOL classes that qualify as 4-credit classes with a lab:
2.0 Course Requirements in Related Fields: 29-34 cr
Organic Chemistry option:
Related Fields Electives: 8 cr
At least one course must be a 4-credit class that has a lab and are not credits from research or internships or from a MATH class and are not used to satisfy other requirements of the major. Choose from: BIOL courses for which BIOL 130L -BIOL 131L are prerequisites and are not used to satisfy other requirements for the major.
Choose from:
BIOL courses for which BIOL 130L -BIOL 131L are prerequisites and are not used to satisfy other requirements for the major.
