The Biology Department offers a B.S. degree in molecular and cellular biology. The B.S. program is designed to provide a rigorous preparation for advanced study in the biomedical sciences. The program is tailored not only to students planning to enter Ph.D. programs or obtain employment in the biotechnology industry but also for premedical students. All courses required for the molecular and cellular biology major must be taken for a letter grade (not S/U) and be passed with a grade of C- or better with one exception. The department will accept one passing grade below C- in senior year provided that the average for all formal lecture and laboratory courses is at least 2.0. Students must complete at least 6 credits of Writing and Communication Foundational Ability coursework in one major. Students will fulfill 4-5 credits of FA1 work in the required laboratory courses for the Molecular and Cellular Biology major, either through Biochemistry Project Lab (2 credits) and Developmental Genetics Lab (2 credits) or PEBL (3 credits) and Developmental Genetics Lab (2 credits).
