Total upper division biology credits must number 10 or more. Grades of ‘C’ or better are required for all courses and labs. The following courses do not count as electives: Student Research Labs ( BSC3915 and BSC4914), Biological Sciences Internship ( BSC3941), Workshop Biology Labs ( BSC6926, etc.); Forensic Veterinary courses (BSC4480, BSC4481, BSC4482); Cooperative Education credits, and any course for non-science majors (e.g. EVR3013 and OCE3014).

Students obtaining a BS in Marine Biology wishing to obtain a minor in Biology must take three electives and an upper division lab different from those used to satisfy the BS in Marine Biology.

Students obtaining a Bachelor degree in a major other than Biology or Marine Biology wishing to obtain both Biology and Marine Biology minors must use different upper division courses for each of the two minors.
