courses in Physics (chosen from Physics 1, 2, 11, 12). |
Notes:
- Six courses in Biology must be completed with a grade of C- or better.
- At least four of the eight biology courses must be taken at Tufts.
- At least two biology courses MUST include laboratory studies,
one of which must be numbered higher than Bio 14.
- Bio 49, Bio 50, Bio 51, Bio 52, Bio 53, Bio 97, Bio
132, Bio 193, or Bio 194 normally may be counted as a course
towards the Bio major BUT CANNOT be counted as meeting Group A,
B, or C requirements.
- Bio 193 or Bio 194 may normally be used as only one of the
eight biology courses for completion of the concentration
requirements. In no case may more than one of these courses be
used to fulfill the lab requirement.
*Students are urged to complete laboratory requirements by the
end of their junior year. In fulfilling this lab requirement,
students may choose from among those biology courses for which lab
is specified in the course description, with the following
exceptions: Bio 93, Bio 94 and Bio 187.
