Programs & Degrees Courses Offered Faculty & Staff GSW Herbarium Careers Alumni News   Biology Homepage Last updated:08/2006 Back to GSW HomePage			Biology Department Biology Course Sequences The following are example course schedules that allow students to complete the B.S. in Biology in four (4) years.  Additional examples provide 3-year and 5-year programs.  It is important to note that several upper division biology and chemistry courses have completion of the introductory sequence courses in that area.  With the exception of Ecology (Biol 4050) and Genetics (Biol 4200),all upper division biology classes are offered on an alternating year schedule.
