Major Requirements
A biology major must successfully complete the following courses:
Biology Electives
Eleven credits of advanced biology, selected by the student and advisor, to include at least two Harvey Mudd laboratory courses (selected from Biology 103, 110, 128, 166, & 184) and one Harvey Mudd seminar-style course (requiring student presentations and reading from the primary literature, for example, Biology 121, 122, 164, 183, 189). Related non-biology technical courses may be substituted for advanced biology courses with permission of the department. With prior departmental permission, up to two credits of Biology 197/198 (Directed Reading) may count as Biology Electives.
Colloquium
Four semesters of Biology 191–192: Biology Colloquium. (The colloquium requirement is waived for any semester during which a student is away on a study abroad program.)
Capstone Project
Two semesters (at least 6 credits total) of Senior Thesis Research (Biology 193–194, or Biology 195–196) or an approved biology-related Clinic (Computer Science 183–184, Engineering 111–113, Mathematics 193 or Physics 193–194).
