ƒRequired courses for Electrical Engineering majors
Additionally, students must take one course with an accompanying
lab (indicated with L) from each group below. Two additional
courses, with or without labs, must be taken from two different
groups. The remaining credit hours can be obtained by taking any
biology course at the 300 level or above ‡. At least one of the
courses must be a plant course (indicated with *) and at least one
of the courses must be an animal course (indicated with **). The
plant and animal courses should be taken in the sophomore year.
Genetics/Cellular/Molecular: Courses focus primarily on the
processes that occur within and between cells and that are common
to most living things.
323, Immunology
350, Cell Biology (L)
355, Plant Development* (L)
357, General Genetics (L)
358, Genomics, Bioinformatics, and Gene Evolution (L)
363, Plant Physiology* (L)
410, Microbiology (L)
440, Practical Molecular Biology (L)
458, Molecular Genetics (Pre-req: 350 or 357)
Evolution/Ecology/Behavior: Courses focus on the processes that
are responsible for understanding the distribution, abundance, and
diversity of organisms, from both contemporary and historical
perspectives.
310, Evolution
364, Population and Community Ecology (L)
370, Conservation Biology
415, Indiana Natural History (L)
420, Animal Behavior (L) (Pre-req: 301)
425, Landscape Ecology (L)
Organismal: Courses focus on particular taxonomic groups of
organisms. They may include information on physiology, behavior,
ecology, evolution, classification, etc. of the group.
301, Zoology** (L)
302, General Botany* (L)
303, Principles of Physiology (L)
312, Biology of Non-vascular Plants* (L)
316, Mammalogy** (L)
322, Vertebrate Biology** (L)
330, Tropical Field Biology (L)
412, Local Flora (L)
430, Developmental Biology (L)
‡BI 325 cannot be counted toward the 37-hour minimum
required for the biology major. Students will be allowed to use a
maximum of three hours of independent study credit, internship
credit, research or honors thesis credit towards the 37-hour
minimum required for the biology.
