BA in Biology—Behavioral Biology Specialization

(Note that among the biology breadth courses, biology primary elective courses, and behavioral biology general elective courses, three courses must have a laboratory or field component, as designated by “L” in the following outline of requirements.)

Prerequisite Biology Courses

(Two) CAS BI 107 and BI 108 (or 118)

Required Biology Breadth Courses

(Three) CAS BI 206 or 216 (recommended) or CAS 203 or 213, BI 315 (L) or BI 325/NE 203, and BI 407 (L)

Required 2-credit Seminar

BI 224

Biology Primary Electives

(Choose two) CAS BI 230, BI 502, BI 508, BI 520, BI 545, CAS AN 335

Behavioral Biology General Electives

(Choose five; a minimum of two must have an AN or PS designation) Where marked (*), students are encouraged to participate in undergraduate research as part of this specialization. CAS BI 191/2 and BI 291/2 may be taken for elective credit. Up to two research courses chosen from BI 391/2 or BI 401/402 or BI 491/2 (or their equivalents in biological anthropology or psychology) may be counted toward the major, but research courses will count for only one of the three required courses having a laboratory or field component.
