Transfer students who have 60 or more hours of academic credit, including college algebra and 8 hours of introductory biology for majors, and a cumulative GPA of 3.25 may be allowed to enroll in upper division (3000 level or above) biology courses concurrently with sophomore (2000 level) courses. Transfer students who have 45 or more hours of academic credit with a cumulative GPA of 3.5, but who have not completed introductory biology for majors, may take the required freshman (1000 level) and sophomore courses simultaneously. This must be approved by the student’s advisor and the instructor of the higher-level course.
The Biology Core consists of BIO 1321, 1322, 2324, and 2341 and their associated laboratories (BIO 1121, 1122, 2124, 2141). To enroll in any advanced biology course (3000 level or higher), students must have at minimum completed the Biology Core and General Chemistry (Chemistry 1315/1115 and 1316/1116) or their transfer equivalents with a grade of C or better in each of the courses listed above.
