In conjunction with various other programs, the Biology Program also supports an interdisciplinary major in biochemistry. Biology majors and minors pursue a diversified program that fulfills a breadth of interests and ultimately prepares them to pursue careers in many areas of the biological sciences, including education, research, and medicine. For those in related majors, the goal of the program is to focus particularly on the interfaces between biology and their major disciplines. Non-majors who take biology courses receive an exposure to biology to its fundamental concepts, latest discoveries, and modes of inquiry in ways that are relevant to their personal and professional lives and consistent with the objectives of the general education curriculum. Extraordinary developments in modern biology offer much to engage students at all levels.<\/p>\n<p>Trinity offers students who study biology the advantages of close faculty-student relationships while providing access to the country's primary resource collections, major research facilities, and outstanding internship opportunities at nationally recognized facilities.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Major_Requirements\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"major_req\"><\/a>Major Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<p><strong>Required Courses (30 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following courses:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 111<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 112<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 231<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 241<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 431<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 441<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 451<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ONE course chosen from between:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 331<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 341<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ONE senior seminar:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >NSCM 499<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Electives (6-8 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TWO of the following courses:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 221<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 223<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 235<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 351<\/span><br \/>\nCHEM\u00a0431<br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >PSYC 241<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Students may NOT take both BIOL 221and <span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 223<\/span> to fulfill the elective requirement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Requirements in Related Fields (30 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following courses:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 111<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 112<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 221<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 222<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 223<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >CHEM 224<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >MATH 125<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >PHYS 111<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >PHYS 112<\/span><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >MATH 225<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Additional courses in computer science and statistics are also recommended.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Minor_Requirements\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"minor_req\"><\/a>Minor Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<p><strong>Required Courses (18 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following courses:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 111<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 112<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >BIOL 231<\/span><\/p>\n<p>SIX additional credits of biology<\/p>\n<span id=\"Program_Policies\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"policies\"><\/a>Program Policies<\/h2><\/span>\n<p><strong>Advanced Placement:<\/strong> Credit will be granted for the score of 4 or 5 on the AP examination.
