APPROVED OUT-OF-DEPARTMENT ELECTIVES 2003-04

Biological Sciences students may apply the following out-of-department courses toward their elective unit requirements. These are advanced courses; generally, they require the Biological Sciences core, math, chemistry, and/or physics as prerequisites.

Not all courses have been approved for the maximum units offered. Maximum course units and approved Biological Sciences unit values appear in parentheses below, i.e., (maximum/approved).
Since these courses are given in other departments, course availability and schedule is subject to change without notice. Students should contact the sponsoring department for additional details. Please check the prerequisites for each course, as these may vary. Out of department courses taken for Biological Sciences elective credit must appear on this list or be approved by petition. If you took a course which appears on a previous list or has since been discontinued by its sponsoring department, the units will still apply towards your elective requirement. Reminder to Co-Terminal/Masters Students: Only 100-level or above courses may be applied toward the Masters of Science Degree.
