Undergraduate Major Manual:
04. Courses from Other Departments

A student may count up to two of these courses toward the "4 additional course units" required for a Biology major (as listed on Requirements for the Major). Reminder: Biology courses cross-listed in other departments count as regular Biology courses.

physics courses

PHYS 280 Physical Models of Biological Systems

psychology courses PSYC 127 (BIBB 227) Physiology of Motivated Behavior PSYC 149 (BIBB 249) Cognitive Neuroscience PSYC 451 Animal Communication

Notes:
BIBB 109 and PSYC 109 are the same as BIOL 109; BIBB 231 and PSYC 131 are the same as BIOL 231; BIBB 251 is the same as BIOL 251; PSYC 431 is the same as BIOL 432.

*Biology majors may count either BIBB 260 or BIBB 460 but not both.

**CHEM 251 will count for the major in place of BIOL 202 only if BIOL 480 is taken as one of the "four additional courses" and if it was taken before the Biology major was declared.

Students who are in the Accelerated Dental Program should obtain the "Course Plan for Dental Submatriculation for Biology Majors" (available in the Biology Department Academic Office) which specifies certain Dental courses that students in this program may count toward the Biology major.
