Description
The curriculum requires 64 credits for students who choose to concentrate in Ecology & Systematics and 65 credits for those who choose Cell & Molecular biology. Both concentrations include two core courses in ecology and two core courses in cell and molecular biology, usually taken in the first year, so students will get exposure to both subject areas.
