Options in the Biology major require 15 or fewer additional credits (one term) beyond the basic Biology major, and most students can complete the additional Pre-Dentistry/Biology option course work in four years. Students may not complete any combination of the Pre-Medical, Pre-Dental option or Physiology and Behavior options. Completion of the Pre-Dental option requires a 3.0 cummulative GPA in major and option course work. Courses used to satisfy the Pre-Dentistry/Biology option requirements also satisfy the Physiology, Writing Intensive Course, Physics or Computational and Quantitative Applications, and Experiential Learning or Integrative Biology Elective requirements in the Biology major. Several courses may also be used to satisfy areas of the Baccalaureate Core.

Students may not pursue either the Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Veterinary Medicine, Pre-Medicine or Physiology and Behavior options within the Biology major —no combinations of these options are permitted.

Students interested in private practice should also consider taking BA 260 or BA 315.

For further information, see MyDegrees or the Integrative Biology website.
