The general education requirement for a foreign language for those following a biology major may be met by two years of high school language or the first four units of a college language. These language units do not apply toward the required 135 units for graduation. Curriculum charts expressing specific major and college course requirements , and sample schedules for each of the above-mentioned major programs, may be obtained in the departmental office, Science Hall - room 200. Most laboratory courses in Biological Science have a $15 laboratory fee. VOCATIONAL SCOPE The Biological Science major is intended to have strength in the foundations of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Breadth in the major areas of biology is included in the core curriculum to serve as a base for advanced or more specialized study. The scope of the core curriculum emphasizes the principles of biology in all forms of life. The Biological Science major is intended to prepare students for the following: (1) further study in the health related fields (medicine , dentistry, medical technology, physical therapy, veterinary medicine , pharmacy) , (2) further study in the teaching fields (college, nursing, health sciences) , (3) graduate study in general biology or a specific area within biology (zoology, botany, and microbiology) , (4) terminal study in primary or secondary education , (5) biology applied to agriculture, business, missions , and (6) camp administration/ naturalist, outdoor educator. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS High school requirements are one year chemistry , one year physics , four years mathematics. One year of biology is desirable. Deficiencies can be fulfilled with permission from the Department of Biological Science . Admission to Outdoor Education major is by written application, a paper from the student and a personal interview.
