General Education Requirements
Total Credits: 42
** The two courses chosen in each area must be sequential.
Major Requirements
In addition to meeting the General Education, University, and Biology major requirements, students must also complete six (6) credits in the Complementary Studies Program which are required of all majors in the School of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences (SCMNS). Options for satisfying this requirement are outlined under the section on the SCMNS. Also, in order to qualify for graduation, students must pass the Senior Departmental Comprehensive Examination; must have taken all of their junior-and senior-level requirements in the major at Morgan (unless granted prior written permission by the Dean to take courses elsewhere); and must have earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better and a major average of 2.0 or better, with no outstanding grades below “C” in the major (which includes all courses required for the major and required supporting prerequisites/ corequisites, complementary and free elective courses).
Required Courses for the Major in Biology
In order to satisfy requirements for the major in Biology, students must complete the courses listed below. Students are expected to complete the core courses in Biology (BIOL 105 -BIOL 106 , BIOL 204 , 2XX, BIOL 303 , BIOL 310 ) by the end of the Junior year. In the Senior year, they are to select a minimum of eight (8) credits from courses numbered BIOL 400 AND HIGHER; and a choice of 1) a CHEM elective, or 2) an additional 400-level BIOL.
Please note: BIOL 450 -BIOL 451 or BIOL 453 may not be used to satisfy the 400-*level biology requirements. MATH 241 and MATH 242 are corequisites for PHYS 205 & PHYS 206 respectively, if selected. Only CHEM 304 can fulfill a major or minor in chemistry. For the quantitative analysis course, students may choose one of the following courses: ACCT 201 , ECON 212 , PSYC 316 , PSYC 317 , MATH 120 , MATH 241 , MATH 242 , or MATH 331 . For the free elective, students may choose a course that is not being used to concomitantly fulfill another Biology curriculum requirement, a University general education requirement, or the complementary studies requirement. It is in the best interest to choose a course that is directly pertinent to and adds breadth to the students’ particular interest and continued education or career goals.
Total Credits: 76/78
The total number of Biology credits taken to satisfy the major must total a minimum of 77. In addition, students are expected to complete all Biology courses, except the Biology Electives, by the end of their Junior year.
