General Elective Courses Credits: 16
In the interest of broadly training our majors, students are required to take at least one course with laboratory from each of the A and B elective course lists below. The A elective courses focus on topics regarding the intact organism and its interaction with the environment, and so are organismal, population, community, and ecosystem in nature. The B elective courses focus on processes acting within the organism, and thus detail molecular, cellular, and organ-system mechanisms. A-Electives
(organismal, population, community, and ecosystem) B-Electives
(molecular, cellular, and organ-system) Free Electives
- Sufficient additional credits to bring the total to 124.
