Enrollment & Elective Info for Fall 2024
We want to help you succesfully select and enroll in appropriate classes. The first step to make sure you chat with a Biology Faculty Advisor each semester as well as your Academic Advisor.
Additionally, we've made videos in fall 2020 with detailed information on understanding the Biology worksheet and ARR, as well as how to search the schedule of classes for all offered electives and see what is still open - while from 2020, the navigation information still is helpful.
This is a draft list of Biology electives undergraduates can take for Fall 2024, including
Biol 500 to 599 advanced undergrad and post-bac.
Please note that you might not always see the 500-level and up classes when enrolling
unless you select postbaccalaureate in the Peoplesoft schedule settings.

*Only one course of the following two courses can be used to fulfill a concentration elective: Biol 365 (any) or Biol 532 (any). Only one concentration elective can be fulfilled by Biol 365, 531 or 532. **While seminars can count towards a concentration elective (Area A), you can only use one seminar (Biol courses 560 to 567) towards your concentration electives total. |
