Core Requirements and Electives

Core Courses
	MCDB 200a (Genetics)
	MCDB 300a (Biochemistry)
	Either MCDB 205b (Cell Biology) or MCDB 210a (Developmental Biology)
Electives
	Four credits
Laboratories
	Two biology laboratories at the level of 200 or higher.

The standard major requires four electives, (three at the level of 140 or above) and one from MCDB at the 350 level or higher. One credit from MCDB 352La, 353La, 354Lb and 355Lb can be used as an upper-level elective or to fulfill the lab requirement, but not both. (Note: these laboratories carry one-half credit each.) Electives can also be drawn from MB&B courses numbered 200 and above as well as from E&EB.

One of the two required laboratories at the level of 200 or higher can be selected from courses in E&EB or MB&B.
