Schedule of Classes
Specific offerings for each semester may be found in the Schedule of Classes. General Education Requirements
In order to graduate on-schedule without taking additional courses, it is highly recommended that students meet with an Undergraduate Academic Adviser concerning the selection of all of their general education courses. Each candidate for an Oakland University baccalaureate will need to satisfactorily complete approved courses in each of the following areas: Foundation, Exploration, Integration, Writing, U.S. Diversity and Capstone. For details, refer to the General Education Requirements section of the catalog. Requirements for the major in biology, B.S.
This curriculum is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in the sciences, including medicine and health-related fields. A minimum of 48 credits in biology (except BIO 1000, BIO 1002, BIO 1004, BIO 2006 and BIO 3000) is required, including at least ten lecture courses and a minimum of four BIO laboratory courses at the 3000 level or above. Students must complete: 2. One course from each of the following areas
Molecular & Cellular Systems
3. Two 4000 level lecture courses selected from the following
4. Four biology laboratory courses at the 3000 level or above
Note: BIO 2101 does not fulfill this requirement. BIO 3361 and BIO 4995 may only count toward one lab requirement, even if taken multiple times. 5. Additional biology elective courses, at the 2000 level or above, as needed to meet the 48-credit minimum
6. Chemistry requirements
Plus one of the following
8. Mathematics requirements (up to 8 credits)
9. Four credits of statistics
Note
Corresponding lecture and lab courses should normally be taken simultaneously. Note that some courses have incorporated labs into lecture credit while other labs are given separate credit. Students using this catalog to meet biology B.S. major requirements may also use any course subsequently approved as satisfying specific requirements and published in a later catalog. Requirements for a Biology (B.S.) with a concentration in microbiology
In addition to completing the courses listed under course requirements in the Biology BS program, students who are considering a career in biotechnology, microbiology technology and research may elect this concentration in their sophomore or junior year. The selection of all courses should be planned in consultation with the faculty adviser. Biology courses required for the microbiology concentration include
