Future Biology Course Offerings
Please note that the following course offerings are tentative and subject to change. We will hopefully offer 1-2 more electives for Biology majors depending on the recruitment of new faculty.
* Indicates the courses that fulfill the new intermediate-level course distribution requirement. All distribution courses have a required laboratory. Students majoring in Biology must complete, by the end of junior year, one course each from the following three pairs:
- Molecules: either Genetics (BIOL-152) or Biochemistry (BIOL-151)
- Cells and Systems: either Developmental Cell Biology (BIOL-170) or Mammalian Physiology (BIOL-175)
- Populations: either Ecology (BIOL-180) or Evolutionary Processes (BIOL-185)
The following plan for Academic Year 2012-2013 is currently a forecast, and every effort has been made to make this forecast as accurate as possible. However, please note that this is liable to change based on recruitment of new faculty and faculty sabbaticals.
