A student majoring in biology must complete 62 quarter hours in the major, the required cognates, the general studies program, and all baccalaureate degree requirements as outlined in this bulletin. Candidates for this degree who plan to do graduate work in biology should counsel with the assigned academic adviser concerning the need of a foreign language. One summer term (10 credits) at the WWC Marine Station is required during which at least one upper-division, marine-oriented course must be taken. Senior students are required to take the Major Field Achievement Test (MFAT) examination in biology.
