Up to two Grad courses can be count for both the BS and MS degrees
(“double-count”). In addition to BIO 8920, typically take either two 4 cr
courses or one 4 cr and one 3 cr course and count BIO 8910. See page 3 on
Program of Study
form.
2
All options indicated as “Adv. Biology/Grad Biology” indicate that student
can either take an advanced Undergraduate Biology course or a graduate
Biology course. These are in addition to the 9 double count courses and
those needed for the MS degree, and thus will count primarily for the BS
degree.
3
To avoid tuition fees in 5th year, take at least 5 Bio lab
courses and at least 17
grad course credits before the end of Senior Year
in addition to
the 4 grad research credits.
4
Plan to begin research in the lab of your chosen mentor no later than the
beginning of your Junior year.
