Overview

Lower-division requirements are not the same for all universities, and there are differences among the areas of specialization. However, the courses listed below meet the lower-division requirements for most universities offering a bachelor’s degree with a major in one of the biological sciences. Students should start with mathematics and chemistry during the first year, as these are required for other science courses. Some of the courses may be applied toward the general education requirement. Courses offered in biology, other than those listed below, are intended as general education courses for nonscience majors. They are not the acceptable courses for biology majors. Biology majors will take similar but more intensive courses as part of their upper-division requirements. Program Student Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the Biology Program, students will be able to communicate clearly in a way that reflects knowledge and understanding of biological processes and structures. Upon successful completion of the Biology Program, students will be able to approach and examine issues related to the biological sciences from an evidence-based perspective and communicate this information in a clear manner. Upon successful completion of the Biology Program, students will be able to demonstrate information literacy skills to access, evaluate, and use resources. Upon successful completion of the Biology Program, students will be able to use and apply the scientific method to critically evaluate hypotheses.

Post-Study Work / Immigration Information

Please confirm current eligibility with Eagle Link before applying.

Optional Practical Training (OPT): Verify before applying

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
