One course selected from:

• Biology 101: Comparative Physiology
• Biology 108: Ecology and Environmental Biology
• Biology 109: Evolutionary Biology

• Five elective credits of upper level Biology courses, to be selected by the student in consultation with her/his adviser. Prior permission from the Department of Biology is required.

• Two successive semesters of Biology 191–192 (Biology Colloquium) and Chemistry 199 (Chemistry Seminar) (four semesters total).

• Two semesters of Senior Thesis Research (Biology 193–194, or Biology 195-196, or Chemistry 151–152). The senior thesis will have two readers, a mentor from one department and a co-reader from the other department.

NOTE: In order to optimize their opportunities and to enable individual flexibility, students may request to count other courses not currently listed as Biology electives. These other courses might include new Biology courses developed at HMC, cross-listed HMC courses (e.g., topics in biological engineering), and appropriate courses offered by other Claremont Colleges. Prior approval, granted by the faculties of Biology and Chemistry, will be required to substitute electives.
