3. Supporting courses, 3 hours: choose one course from
AGRO 233 or GEOL ll..
4. Required physics courses, 3 hours: PHYS 101.
5. A second teaching field of at least 24 hours. See the
education section of the catalog for second teaching
field requirements.
Note: If biology is chosen as a first or second field with
life-earth science, the following program is required:
Required biology courses: BIOL 221/223 or
222/224, 301, 353/357, 370, 492/495, and 9
additional hours of biology.
Note: If chemistry is chosen as a first or second field with
life-earth science, the following program is required:
Required chemistry courses: CHEM 131/133,
132/134, 221/223, 322/324; 4 hours from CHEM
351, 352, 353, 354; and 4 hours of advanced
chemistry.
General Electives
To obtain a total of 131 credit hours, the student seeking a
BA in biology for one-field teacher certification must take 6
hours of general electives including deficiency requirements
in foreign language. To obtain a total of 140 credit hours,
the student seeking the BA in life-earth science for one-field
teacher certification or for two-field certification must take
6 hours of general electives including deficiency
requirements in foreign language. General electives for
teacher certification degrees may include 6 hours of Bible
as general humanities electives. The student must arrange
electives to ensure 33 semester hours of advanced work.
COOPERATIVE BACHELOR OF

upper-division biology selections. Students in premedical
technology take BIOL 355/357 and 454;
students in pre-veterinary medicine take BIOL
351/352; BIOL 312/313 is highly recommended for
all pre-professional programs.
2. Required chemistry courses, 19 hours: CHEM
131/133, 132/134, 221/223, 322/324 plus 3 hours of
upper- division chemistry.
3. Required physics courses, 8 hours: PHYS 110/111,
112/113.
4. Mathematics, 3-4 hours: MATH 124 or 183/185.
Calculus is required for students in pre-medicine and
pre- veterinary medicine and is recommended for predentistry
students.
General Electives
To obtain a total of 104 credit hours, the student working
on a cooperative degree in the health sciences must take 11
hours of general electives including deficiency requirements
in science and foreign language. Courses in psychology,
sociology, economics, and government are recommended.
Pre-vet students should take courses in animal science and
nutrition and 6 hours of political science.
Minor in Biology
A minor in biology may be added to other degrees. It
requires 18 credit hours as follows:
1. Biology selections, 12 hours chosen from BIOL 100299.2. Advanced biology selections, 6 hours chosen from
BIOL 300-499.
The courses may not be chosen from the non-biology major
section of the course descriptions.
