Completion of the requirements for the Three-year BSc in Biology with the general prerequisites for entrance into honors programs in the Biological Sciences. It is recommended that some of the program's requirements listed below, including Biology 284a and 366b, be taken prior to Fourth Year.

Note:

It is very important for potential Ecology and Evolution honors students to consult the program's advisors in choosing the appropriate courses during their second and third years. All fourth year programs must be approved by an Ecology and Evolution program advisor in the Department of Biology.
