Each area of concentration has its own core requirements, but the number of required courses is the same for each. In addition to the standard major, MCDB offers two interdisciplinary programs of study in the biotechnology and neurobiology tracks. Once the requirements for the area of concentration have been met, students can choose electives from the other participating department, from Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, and from certain other departments. When in doubt, consult the director of undergraduate studies in your area of concentration.

All majors in biology have the same choices for meeting the senior requirement. As described below, the requirements differ for the B.A., the B.S., the intensive B.S., and the combined B.S./M.S. degrees.
