Special Requirements
Biology majors are required to take all of the core courses (BIO 111, BIO 112, BIO 221, BIO 331, BIO 322) at Tougaloo College. Students must obtain a minimum grade of “C” in all biology courses and required supporting courses in Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Students must receive a minimum grade of “C” in all pre-requisites to courses in which they enroll. Biology majors must obtain the permission of their academic advisor and the Department Chair before taking any Biology course or required elective course at another institution. Biology majors will be allowed to take or repeat only two Biology courses or required supportive courses outside the Department. Majors transferring from junior colleges cannot transfer Biology courses that would substitute for 300 or 400 level Biology courses at Tougaloo without approval of Biology Department. They must take all junior and senior level Biology courses at Tougaloo.
