The Biological Sciences major is offered in both the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Arts & Sciences. The major is administered by The Office of Undergraduate Biology.
Biological Sciences Concentration Checklists
The OUB's Biological Sciences Checklists serve as an advising tool for students to track foundation and concentration requirements. They do not include College of Agriculture and Life Sciences or College of Arts or Sciences college requirements.
The OUB created a "Concentration Summary" document that provides a high-level overview and some specific considerations for each concentration to serve as an additional advising tool.
Students are responsible for understanding all degree requirements, appropriate course sequencing and prerequisites. Students should consult the Courses of Study for the year they matriculated to Cornell.
