The following lists specify the courses that may be taken toward fulfillment of the biology core requirements. If a course appears in more than one area, it may used to fill only one area requirement. Note that only courses in the Biology Department can count toward the minor.
[Lab] = Course that fulfills the "lab or field component" requirement.
[IE] = Course that fulfills the "Integrative Experience" requirement.
