*The choice of biology electives must conform to the following two guidelines:
- Total biology hours must be at least 22, including General Biology I-II.
- All four advanced biology electives must come from groups A and B below. At least one course must be taken from each of the two groups.
Group A: BIOL 3350/3350L (Anatomy and Physiology); BIOL 3160/3160L (Embryology), BIOL 4111/4111L (Histology); BIOL 4091/4091L (Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy).
Group B: BIOL 2010/2010L (Microbiology), BIOL 3070/3070L (Immunology), BIOL 3091/3091L (Cell Biology), BIOL 3110/3110L (Genetics), BIOL 3250 (Microbial Physiology) BIOL 4250/4250L (Molecular Genetics).
**PHIL 2400 is recommended for students planning a career in the health professions.
***MATH 1020 (STAT 2010) is recommended as an elective for students planning a career in the health professions.
