Lab Requirement

 

Any Biology Major who has received 1.0 cu of credit for Biol 1101, 1102, or 1121 or a waiver for Introductory Biology is required to include a laboratory or field course from the list below, as one of your required Biology Major courses.

 

  • BIOL 1123 Introductory Molecular Biology Lab (only if you have lecture credit for Biol 1101 or 1121 but have not taken Biol 1101)
  • BIOL 1124 Introductory Organism Biology Lab (only if you have lecture credit for Biol 1102 but have not taken Biol 1102)
  • BIOL 2110 Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology
  • BIOL 3006 Histology (LPS; normally not open to College students)
  • BIOL 3431 Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy Lab
  • BIOL 3711 Microbial Diversity Lab
  • BIOL 3999 Independent Study (must be certified as lab or field experience by the departmental sponsor)
  • BIOL 4600 Field Botany
  • BIOL 4623 Plant Ecology
  • BIOL 4825 Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics Superlab
  • or a 5000 level course that includes lab or field work

 

With the exception of Biol 1123 and 1124, the lab course you chose will also serve to fulfill one of the other requirements for the major (in most cases the requirement for "4 additional courses") and will not add to the total number of course units required for the major.
