To complete the Integrative Experience general education requirement, a biology major must do two things:
1. Take Biology 494 LI Life After Biology (1-cr seminar course offered every semester). Completion in sophomore year is recommended. A grade of D or higher is required.
2. Make sure that the upper-level elective courses completed for the major include at least one of the following courses:
- Biology 372 Introductory Neurobiology
- Biology 383H Gene and Genome Analysis [Lab]
- Biology 422 Field Ecology: An Experimental Approach [Lab]
- Biology 477H BioImaging [Lab]
- Biology 514 Population Genetics
- Biology 523 Histology [Lab]
- Biology 550 Animal Behavior [Lab]
- Biology 551 Animal Communication
- Biology 572 Advanced Neurobiology
- Biology 582 DNA to Diversity [Lab]
Note: the above elective courses will fulfill the IE requirement with a grade of D or higher but will not count toward biology major requirements unless the grade is C or higher.
