Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a major course (identified as program courses, below) toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College allows double-counting a related course (see below) for a major toward some other major or minor. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a major course and related courses for a major toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. Customized concentration consisting of a thematic set of three, 300-level Biol Sci courses approved by the biology program. Interdisciplinary themes should be unique and distinct from already established concentrations. Seniors may be recommended to the college for graduation with honors if they have completed BIOL_SCI 397-0 Senior Thesis Colloquium and at least one quarter of BIOL_SCI 398-0 Tutorial in Biology or BIOL_SCI 399-0 Independent Research, have written an approved honors thesis based on their independent study, and have sufficiently high grades.
