A student may declare a major in biology or marine biology after completing BIO 201 and BIO 202 , or equivalent courses, with a grade of “C” (2.00) or better in both courses, and the completion of a minimum of 24 semester hours of credit.

Transfer students wishing to declare a major in biology or marine biology must meet admission requirements, which are:
