| *Biological Sciences Electives |
|
| The following specifications apply to Biological
Sciences electives: |
- At least 18 units must be at the 03-3xx level or above,
exclusive of 03-445 Undergraduate Research.
|
- Up to three interdisciplinary electives may count as biological sciences
electives.
|
- Up to 18 units of 03-445 Undergraduate Research may count
as biology electives; a maximum of 36 units can count toward
graduation.
|
- Courses in biology taken through cross-registration at
another university may count as electives if prior permission
has been obtained from the Carnegie Mellon Department of Biological Sciences
advisor.
