The Biology Program @ Centre College

This page list information that may be useful to students interested in majoring or minoring in Biology at Centre College. If you have any questions or comments, please contact the program chair, Dr. Kelly O'Quin (kelly.oquin@centre.edu), or another member of the Biology Program.

 

 

Scheduling

The following tables list several example schedules for students interested in majoring in Biology.  The first example lists major and general education courses for a typical Biology major, the second example lists courses for a Biology major interested in studying abroad at Glasgow, Scotland, and the third example lists recommended courses for a Biology major interested in attending MedSchool.

 

These examples and just that -- examples. They are not meant to be set in stone. Students can re-arrange when courses and electives are taken as necessary, including taking many BIO300+ courses in the Winter Term.
