**Students (especially transfer students) should note that an
absolute minimum of 20 credits of the 71 total biology credits
required (47 core + 24 electives), must be taken in the Department
of Biological Sciences in New Brunswick (119:xxx). At least 1
lab must be included in these 20 credits. This means no more than
16 biology course credits can be transferred towards the major
from another school and/or taken from a department other than
the New Brunswick Department of Biological Sciences (119).
