Students must complete two of the three lab categories listed below. Each lab should be taken concurrently with the associated lecture course when possible. If you choose to take all three lab courses, then the 3000-level course may count toward Biology Electives instead of the Core Lab requirement.

Students are required to complete 21 credit hours of Biology electives defined as follows:
- 12 'depth' credit hours must be 3000-level or higher courses with 'BIOS' prefix, excluding BIOS 4694-BIOS 4699. BIOS courses that are cross-listed with other departments are included in these 12 depth credit hours.
- The remaining 3 'breadth' credit hours can be selected from: other BIOS 3000-level or higher courses, BIOS experiential learning courses*, and/or the list of approved courses offered in other departments**.
- **Experiential learning courses include: BIOS 4695, BIOS 4697, BIOS 4699, and VIP courses (VIP courses must have a Biological Sciences instructor). Additional experiential learning coursework may be used to fulfill Free Electives.
- **Approved breadth elective courses in other departments include 3000-level or higher BMED, CHEM, EAS, NEUR, MATH, PHYS, PSYC; EXCEPT the following: BMED 4699, BMED 4900-BMED 4903, CHEM 4601,CHEM 4695, CHEM 4699,CHEM 4901-CHEM 4903, EAS 4651, EAS 4699, EAS 4900, MATH 4080, MATH 4090, MATH 4695, MATH 4699, MATH 4999, NEUR 4697, NEUR 4699, NEUR 4901, PHYS 4601, PHYS 4602, PHYS 4699, PSYC 4600, PSYC 4601, PSYC 4695, PSYC 4697, PSYC 4699, PSYC 4900-PSYC 4910. All non-BIOS Experiential Learning courses are excluded from Breadth electives even if not explicitly listed here, including non-BIOS Seminars, Special Problems, Research, Internship, Teaching, and Reading courses.

PHYS 2211 and PHYS 2212 are Biology degree requirements and serve as pre requisites for other required courses in the degree. It is highly recommended that students complete these courses as the Lab Sciences courses for Core IMPACTS. If they are not taken as Core IMPACTS courses, they are still required and must be taken for a letter grade and may count towards Free Electives.

ECON 2106 is required for the Business Option. ECON 2106 will also fulfill 3 hours of Social Science hours.
