Biology Honors
Biology Honors is designed for superior students wishing to pursue an intensive introductory biology program and, concurrently, to gain a strong background in the physical sciences. Admission is by interview in spring of the freshman year. Biology Honors provides preparation suitable for graduate and professional training in biology.

Web address for most current program requirements:
http://www.las.uiuc.edu/students/programs/biol/f_BIOL_honors.shtmlDegree title: Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences
Minimum required courses normally equate to 70-77 hours including 24 hours of 200- and 300-level courses
General education: The LAS General Education requirements are set up so students automatically complete the Campus General Education requirements.
Minimum hours required for graduation: 120 hours
Departmental distinction: In addition to the above requirements, candidates for distinction must: 1. Consult with the biology honors adviser early in their junior year, 2. Complete an undergraduate research project 3. Present an acceptable written report on the research to the Biology Distinction Committee one month prior to graduation.
HOURS REQUIREMENTS1 10-11 Select one group of courses: MATH 120-Calculus and Analytic Geometry, I, and MATH 130-Calculus and Analytic Geometry, II, and MATH 242-Calculus of Several Variables or MATH 135-Calculus, and MATH 245-Calculus, II 14-15 Select one group of courses: CHEM 107-Accelerated Chemistry, I, and CHEM 108-Accelerated Chemistry, II, and CHEM 109-Accelerated Chemistry Laboratory, I, and CHEM 110-Accelerated Chemistry Laboratory, II, and CHEM 236-Fundamental Organic Chemistry, I, and CHEM 237-Structure and Synthesis or CHEM 1012-General Chemistry, CHEM 105-General Chemistry Laboratory, and CHEM 102-General Chemistry (Biological or Physical Version), CHEM 106-General Chemistry Laboratory, and CHEM 236-Fundamental Organic Chemistry, I, and CHEM 237-Structure and Synthesis 5 BIOL 250-The Cell 5 BIOL 251-The Organism 4 BIOL 252-Population Biology3 9-14 Select one group of courses: BIOCH 350-Introductory Biochemistry, and BIOCH 355-Biochemistry Laboratory, and BIOCH 356-Lectures on Biochemistry Laboratory Methods or BIOCH 352-General Biochemistry, and BIOCH 353-General Biochemistry, and BIOCH 355-Biochemistry Laboratory, and BIOCH 356-Lectures on Biochemistry Laboratory Methods 4 PHYCS 111-General Physics (Mechanics) 4 PHYCS 112-General Physics (Electricity and Magnetism) 2 Select one: PHYCS 113-General Physics (Fluids and Thermal Physics) PHYCS 114-General Physics (Waves and Quantum Physics) 3 An approved 200- or 300-level course in statistics4 10 300-level life sciences courses (other than BIOL 371). Two hours of undergraduate research courses (290 or 292) may be substituted.Twelve hours advanced-level (300- and approved 200-level) courses in the major must be taken on this campus.
All foreign language requirements must be satisfied.
No more than 8 hours of credit in 100-level Life Science courses may be counted toward graduation.
Students may complete only one option within the School of Life Sciences. Students may count toward graduation no more than a combined maximum of 10 hours of 290, 292, and 294 credit offered in biophysics; cell and structural biology; animal biology; entomology; microbiology; physiology; and plant biology.
Advisers may not make any substitutions or other changes in the above requirements.
200-level life science courses (except BIOL 250, 251, 252, and independent study courses) will not ordinarily satisfy biology honors program requirements.
1. Students must consult with their biology honors adviser at least once each semester.
2. The former sequence is recommended, and preference will be given on admission to students following it.
3. Continuation in the biology honors option requires a grade of B or better in each of BIOL 250, 251, and 252.
4. BIOL 371 or 391, I E 230, or MATH 361/STAT 351 or MATH 363/STAT 310 are recommended, as is additional training in statistics. Suitable sequences for those taking more than a single course are BIOL 371; CPSC 340 and 440; and STAT 310/MATH 363 and STAT 311/MATH 364.
Biology Teaching
Completion of this option fulfills state certification requirements to teach both biology and general science. Certification in other teaching areas can also be earned. A student must have at least a 2.5 (A+ = 4.0) cumulative and University of Illinois grade point average to remain in the teaching option. A student must also maintain at least a 2.0 grade point average in science and mathematics courses taken at the University of Illinois.

Minimum required courses normally equate to 68-82 hours
General education: Students must consult their program and teacher education advisers for current general education requirements.
Minimum hours required for graduation: 120 hours
Departmental distinction: To graduate with distinction, the student must have at least a 3.5 grade point average for all work completed, and present evidence of exemplary student teaching.
Prerequisites to transfer to the Teaching Option: EDPSY 211, E P S 201, MATH 120 or 135, CHEM 101,102, 105, and 106 (or CHEM 107, 108, 109, 110), CHEM 231, CHEM 234, BIOL 120, BIOL 121, and BIOL 122 must be completed prior to transfer into the Teaching Option.
In addition to the requirements for the option listed below, students must complete the Teacher Education Minor in Secondary School Teaching (36 hours). See the College of Education section for requirements of the minor. Conferral of the degree of Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences prior to completion of the minor requires approval by petition to the LAS Student Affairs Office.
