Note: Pre-dental students should take CHEM 326/328/L to satisfy most dental school requirements.Generally, pre-medical students should complete CHEM 310/L, however, some medical schools require CHEM 326/328/L rather than CHEM 310/L. Students intending to apply to a medical school other than the USD Medical School should determine the specific requirements for the schools they intend to apply. - PHYS 111 - Introduction to Physics I (C) [SGR #6, HSDC]
- PHYS 111L - Introduction to Physics I Laboratory (C) [SGR #6, HSDC]
OR - PHYS 211 - University Physics I (C) [SGR #6, HSDC]
- PHYS 211L - University Physics I Laboratory (C) [SGR #6, HSDC]
- PHYS 113 - Introduction to Physics II (C) [SGR #6, HSDC]

OR - PHYS 213 - University Physics II (C) [SGR #6, HSDC]
- PHYS 213L - University Physics II Laboratory (C) [SGR #6, HSDC]
Major Electives (16-19 hours)
Required Coursework:
Students are required to have a total of 40 credit hours in BIOL.
- 12 credits should be from the Physiology, Cell & Molecular Course Group.
- 3 credits from the Conservation and Biodiversity Course Group.
- Remaining credits can be any BIOL courses at the 300 or 400 level.
Courses taken as capstone courses are not counted towards elective credits.
Conservation and Biodiversity Course Group
Physiology, Cell & Molecular Course Group
B.S. / M.S. Accelerated Options
Undergraduate Biology majors may elect to complete both the B.S. and M.S. concurrently. Students who pursue the accelerated option will be awarded their undergraduate degree first, but may be awarded both degrees upon completion of the graduate requirements. Students may apply for admission to the M.S. program after completing 75 undergraduate credit hours and may begin taking graduate level courses upon completion of 90 undergraduate credit hours and acceptance into the accelerated graduate program. Additional information about the accelerated degree can be found on the accelerated program catalog page for the M.S. in Biology.
Four-Year Program Guides and Costs
USD encourages students to take 15 credits per semester or 30 credits within the year in order to graduate in 4 years. To help students complete their academic degree program in four years, we provide a sample academic plan. Please work with your academic advisor to confirm your plan.
