College Requirements

The degree requirements for the Biology major consist of three parts:

  1. University-wide requirements for communications, quantitative reasoning, and ethnic studies.
  2. College-level requirements (CALS or L&S)
  3. Biology Major requirements for chemistry, math, physics, and biology are the same regardless of college and will satisfy the degree requirements of both colleges.

The official requirements are listed in the "Document of Record" which is the Undergraduate Catalog.
