Restrictions

 Up to 4 credits of BI 408 OIMB Summer Workshops may be applied to the 44 credit upper division Biology requirement.  BI 357 Marine Biology may not be taken for credit after credit is received for either BI 458 Biological Oceanography or BI 474 Marine Ecology.

LIMITATIONS WITHIN THE 44 CREDIT UPPER-DIVISION REQUIREMENT:

BI 403 Thesis, BI 405 Reading, BI 406 Field Studies, BI 407 Seminar, BI 408 Laboratory Projects, BI 409 Practicum, and BI 410 Senior Research qualify for general University of Oregon upper division credit, but cannot be applied to the 44 credit upper-division requirement for the Marine Biology Major.

BI 401 Research or BI 402 Supervised College Teaching: A maximum of 4 credits of BI 401 Research and/or BI 402 Supervised College Teaching may be applied to the 44 credit upper-division Biology requirement provided that: a. prior to enrolling in BI 401 or 402, a proposal is written and approved by a faculty sponsor and b. after the work is completed, an approved written journal or report is submitted to the faculty sponsor.
