Option in Zoology:
(BIOLBS07) 2007-08
This option is designed primarily for those interested in careers that involve the biology of animals and is particularly appropriate for those contemplating graduate work in this field. This option requires approximately 82-89 units in the major, of which 41-44 are in lower division and 42 are in upper division.
Roadmap to graduation for Biology Majors
Lower Division: : BIOL 211A,B, 260; CHEM 111A,B; GEOL 102 and 104 or 105, or MICR 211; MATH 119A or 122, 119B or 123; PHYS 100A,B. The following courses do not meet any specific or elective requirements for this major: BIOL 153, 200, 200L, 204, 205, 207, 208, MICR 101, and 200.
Upper Division: : Both CHEM 320A,B or all four of 322A,B, 323A,B; BIOL 312, 324, 340, 345, 345L, 350, 370, 313 or 316. At least one course selected from BIOL 313, 316, 411, 419, 421, 423, 424; and at least two additional courses in biological science totaling at least six units chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor. Either CHEM 441A,B or 448 will count toward these six units. Students contemplating graduate work should consider taking 1-3 units of BIOL 496. The following courses do not meet any specific or elective requirements for this major: BIOL 301, 303, 304, 306, 309I, MICR 300I, and NSCI 492.
CSULB requires a “C” average in all upper division courses in the major taken at CSULB. For students who do not meet this requirement, the Department of Biological Sciences will allow graduation if they earn at least a “C” the last time they complete each upper division course in their major at CSULB.
