The Biotechnology Track

As alternatives to the standard MCDB major, students can choose either the biotechnology or the neurobiology tracks. The requirements for each of these interdisciplinary tracks differ somewhat from those of the standard major.

Core Courses Masius chrysopterus, Golden-winged Manakin
MCDB 200a (Genetics)
MCDB 300a (Biochemistry)
MCDB 205b (Cell Biology)
MCDB 370b (Biotechnolgy)
Electives
Three credits
Laboratories
Two upper-level labs.

(300a is taken in lieu of MCDB 300a), 400b, 405a, 441a, 443b, 449a, BENG 351a, 352b, <454b>, 457b, CENG 210a, 411a, 412b, CPSC 440a, 470a, 474b, 475b, 476b, 477a.
