The Biology B.S. degree allows the student to choose coursework to be awarded the general Biology B.S. degree or to select a track in one of five areas, which are: Ecology, Evolutionary and Conservation Biology - Marine and Aquatic Biology - Plant Sciences - Pre-Health Professional Biology - Zoology and Pre-Veterinarian Science. These tracks are designed to align students with specific courses that will prepare them for the job market or more advanced study.

Degree Requirements

  • Students who change degree programs and select this major must adopt the most current catalog.
  • Co-op credit cannot be used in this major.
  • Major Requires 13 credits of Biology Core and 22 credits of Required, Restricted, and Additional Biology Electives for a total of 35 upper-level credits.
  • All tracks within the Biology Major must complete two (2) upper-level labs from those listed below (A Lab and B Lab).
  • All tracks within the Biology Major must complete at least one (1) Plant Class and one (1) Animal Class.
  • Departmental Residency Requirement consists of at least 22 of 35 semester hours of regularly scheduled 3000-4000 level courses taken from the UCF Department of Biology.
  • Students seeking a double major must satisfy the requirements for both majors and must take no fewer than 40 semester hours of upper division restricted elective course work appropriate to the combined areas of specialization in the two majors.
  • Courses designated in Common Program Prerequisites are usually completed in the first 60 hours.
  • A "C" (2.0) or better is required in all courses meeting Common Program Prerequisites, Biology Core Requirements and Required Electives.
  • Students must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in all courses counting as the Major GPA; which includes Common Program Prerequisites, Biology Core Requirements, and Required, Restricted, and Additional Biology Electives.
  • All prerequisites of courses taught within the College of Sciences will be enforced.
  • No more than 4 semester hours of Independent Study, Directed Research, Thesis, and Internship credit, may be applied toward major requirements.
  • Upon reaching junior standing (60 hours), Biology majors are expected to have completed the following courses and associated laboratories. These classes are prerequisites for advanced science classes and students entering the major without these classes will be unable to register for most of the advanced courses.
