Note:

If used to fulfill a specific requirement, BIOL 443 and CHEM 330 may not also be used as electives. Any 498 course serving as an elective must be approved by the Biology Department chair or designee. Students in the University Honors Program may substitute UHON 498 for BIOL 490 and may substitute appropriate UHON courses for PSYC 101 and/or SOC 100.

Students who complete the Medical Biology major will have fulfilled the requirements for the Interdisciplinary Sciences Minor  and are not required to complete an additional minor, although they are welcome to do so.
