Subject Area Courses

Cell Biology subject area courses include all courses at the 200-level or higher that satisfy specific requirements or options in the respective Honors or Major requirements, as listed below, and all courses at the 200-level or above with course designators ANAT (at the 400-level), BIOCH, CELL, GENET, IMIN, MICRB, MMI (at the 300-level or higher), NEURO, ONCOL, PHYSL, and PMCOL.

There are minimum subject area GPA requirements for graduation (see Academic Standing and Graduation ).

Note: Students registered in the Bachelor of Science (Major and Honors) program also need to satisfy Common Course Requirements , Major/Honors/Minor Requirements , and Science and Senior Course Level Requirements .
