Track 1 in biology is an honors with thesis program consisting of a total of 21 hours of honors registrations. Six credit hours are taken outside of the major; 4 hours are taken as the special experimental laboratory and recitation sections of freshman biology (BIOL K101 and K103); 5 hours are taken as H-Option registrations or 500-level courses; and 6 hours are taken as K493 Independent Research and K494 Senior Research Thesis. Track 2 is an honors program without thesis and consists of a total of 24 hours of honors registrations. This option requires 6 credit hours of honors outside of the major, the K101 and K103 sections, and 14 hours of H-Option or 500-level course registrations.
Biology Plans of Study
No single semester-by-semester plan of study will guide all students through the degree options because of the flexibility encouraged within the programs. However, one possible sequence of courses for each option is given below; variations from these examples of plans of study should be made in consultation with a departmental advisor.
