The comprehensive requirement for Biology majors is the successful completion of Biology  456 and 457.

* Previous education and aptitude determine whether a student takes foreign language 101, 102, and/or 201 before taking 202 or higher. Courses below 202 count as general electives.

** Biology majors may take either Math 107 (Statistics) or Math 152 (Calculus II) to satisfy the second part of their math requirement. Many graduate schools require 2 semesters of calculus. It is the responsibility of the student, in consultation with the academic advisor, to determine which math course would be most suitable.

*** Availability of general electives assumes that Math 151 - Physics 103 - Physics 104 are used to satisfy the Clare College requirement of a 3-course sequence.
