The program provides the strong backgroundnecessary for not only graduate study in the life sciences, but alsoenables students to develop careers in a wide variety of disciplines,including teaching, environmental management, microbiology, molecularbiology, biotechnology, genetics, wildlife management, fisheries biology,and marine science. Furthermore, our curriculum prepares students forcareers in the health sciences including medicine, dentistry, veterinaryscience, and related allied health disciplines.Admissions & PoliciesAdmissionsUniversity-wide admissions policies can be found in UndergraduateAdmissions Policies licies/).To apply for this program, please complete the George Mason UniversityAdmissions Application liciesStudents must fulfill all Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees duate-policies/#ap-5-3-2),including the Mason Core (http://catalog.gmu.edu/mason-core/).Important information and departmental policies are listed inthe Department of Biology iology/).BIOL 308 Foundations of Ecology and Evolution meets the writingintensive requirement for this major. Transfer students who havetransferred in BIOL 308 Foundations of Ecology and Evolution but didnot meet the writing intensive requirement may take MLAB 300 ScienceWriting to meet the writing intensive requirement.For policies governing all undergraduate degrees, see AP.5 UndergraduatePolicies duatepolicies/).Important Program Requirements Students may apply no more than 8 credits of BIOL 103 IntroductoryBiology I (Mason Core) (http://catalog.gmu.edu/masoncore/) or BIOL 107 Intro Biology II Lecture (Mason Core) (http://catalog.gmu.edu/mason-core/) and BIOL 106 Introductory BiologyII Laboratory (Mason Core) (http://catalog.gmu.edu/masoncore/) toward elective credit (or equivalent transfer credit at the100 to 200-level) if taken before successful completion of BIOL 213Cell Structure and Function (Mason Core) (http://catalog.gmu.edu/mason-core/). Biology majors must earn a minimum grade of 'C' in all biology corecourses. A grade of 'C' or better must be earned in BIOL 213 CellStructure and Function (Mason Core) (http://catalog.gmu.edu/mason-core/) in order to advance to other core requirements. Students may repeat BIOL 213 Cell Structure and Function (MasonCore) (http://catalog.gmu.edu/mason-core/) once, but a second timeonly with permission from the Department of Biology. Students may not count BIOL 124 Human Anatomy andPhysiology and/or BIOL 125 Human Anatomy and Physiology towardany biology major requirement. Students who take BIOL 300 BioDiversity may not count BIOL 303Animal Biology and/or BIOL 304 Plant Biology toward any biologymajor requirement. 44 credits must be in biology coursework. BIOL 493 Honors Research in Biology, BIOL 495 Directed Studies inBiology, and BIOL 497 Special Problems in Biology do not satisfythe requirements of the BS degree which state that studentsmust complete at least two upper division courses that includea laboratory. The courses do, however, count as non-laboratoryelectives. The total limit for BIOL 493 Honors Research in Biology,BIOL 495 Directed Studies in Biology, and BIOL 497 Special Problemsin Biology combined is 6 credits toward the 44 credits required for theBS.Several optional concentrations are available; details on each can befound in the Requirements tab.Teacher LicensureStudents majoring in biology who wish to pursue a career teachingsecondary school may consider applying for the Secondary Education- Biology (6-12) Undergraduate Certificate ation-biology-6-12-undergraduate-certificate/) offeredby the College of Education and Human Development -human-development/) asan option in seeking an initial Virginia teaching license.Other routes to licensure include the Biology, BA or BS/Curriculumand Instruction, Accelerated MEd uction-med/#acceleratedmasterstext) (Secondary EducationBiology Concentration) or select traditional Master's programs.
