The Biology electives must
be 300-400 level courses in Biology, which
are designated as courses which count
toward the Biology Major. The following
courses, which will be taken during the
first year at SUNY Optometry, must
not be used as Biology electives:
ABIO 303, 325, 341, 342, 365, 406, 410 &
411.

NINETY (90) credits of coursework MUST
be on the University at Albany campus.
Therefore, if a student wishes to use
pre-freshman credit, he/she must take
other credits at The University at Albany
in order that the total credits completed
here equals 90. The Biology
department requires students to take the
General Biology courses here, rather than
retaining credit for Advanced Placement in
Biology. SUMMER coursework completed
between the first and second year, or
between the second and third year at the
University at Albany is acceptable for
this program.
Because the number of general
education courses a student is required to
fulfill is dependant upon New York Regents
Exam grades, a student may
have to take summer school courses in
order to complete all the general
education requirements before transferring
to SUNY-Optometry. |

APPLICATION:
The selection of
joint degree students will be based on
written application materials, academic
progress, and a personal interview. A
minimum of a 3.2 grade point average on a
scale of a 4.0 on undergraduate courses
completed at the time of application is
required.
The
applicant should complete a pre-health
file by February of the sophomore year so
that a pre-health evaluation can be
completed. For further details, please
consult the Pre-Health Advisor.
|
|
GPA required for the Biology BS degree: |
A minimum of 2.0 grade point average is
required for all courses, including those
within the major. Credit with the grade of
"D" may be used to fulfill the
requirements of the combined major and
minor in Biology (BS) only if balanced at
the same institution by credit with grades
of "A" or "B" earned within the combined
major and minor. |
