Program of Study
Biology is the study of living things and their adaptations to the pressures
of natural selection. The faculty of the College believes that a sound knowledge
of biology is essential for understanding many of the most pressing problems
of modern life and for intelligent involvement in their eventual solution.
The Biological Sciences Collegiate Division, therefore, provides a variety
of Common Core courses for all College students, prospective biologists
and nonbiologists alike. Although most of the course offerings beyond the
introductory year are designed to serve the needs of biology concentrators,
many of these courses are well suited to students in other concentrations
who wish to study some aspect of modern biology in greater detail. Courses
on the ethical and societal implications of the biological sciences, for
example, will be of interest to all students.
The Biological Sciences Common Core
The goal of the courses in the Common Core biological sciences curriculum
is to give students a scientific understanding of how life functions and
evolves at every level. Biology is complex, fascinating, and of increasing
importance as the "biological revolution" unfolds. Common Core
sequences cover the biology of cells, organisms, and populations. Students
learn the key concepts and methods to generate new knowledge in each of
these areas, and come to appreciate the interconnectedness of all living
things and their evolutionary interactions with the environment.
There are three categories of sequences, which are described in greater
detail in the course descriptions of this section. These include (1) an
integrated six-quarter natural science sequence, which fulfills both the
Common Core biological and physical sciences requirements; (2) biological
sciences sequences for students who plan to concentrate outside the biological
sciences; and (3) advanced biological science sequences designed both to
fulfill the Common Core requirement and to prepare biological sciences concentrators
for further work in the biological sciences concentration.
Each Common Core course includes laboratory exercises. In these laboratories,
students gain firsthand experience in carrying out experiments or making
observations and in analyzing and interpreting the biological data they
obtain from these experiments and observations. The laboratories are an
integral part of the courses; to receive a grade in a Common Core course,
students must complete the laboratory exercises associated with that course
even if the course is taken as an elective. NOTE: Some courses include laboratories
that require the use of animals; students who have concerns about using
animals in laboratories are urged to discuss these concerns with the instructors
before registering for those courses.
Placement. Students who score 4 or 5 on the AP test in biology, or who
perform well on the College's optional placement test in the biological
sciences, will be excused from the Common Core biological sciences requirement.
Students who place out of the biology Common Core and who subsequently concentrate
in the biological sciences are required either to complete one of the Biological
Sciences 170s, 180s, or 190s sequences as part of their concentration requirement
or demonstrate their knowledge by special examination.
Accreditation. Students who place out of the Common Core biology sequence
may elect to take an accreditation examination in one or more of the five
areas included in the Biological Sciences 170s, 180s, and 190s sequences.
Credit is granted upon satisfactory completion of an examination designated
by the BSCD master. No laboratory requirements can be met by accreditation
examinations except by special petition with accompanying documentation.
Accreditation for 200-level biology courses may also be granted to students
at any time after completion of a 100-level Common Core biology sequence
and upon satisfactory completion of the same examination. No examination
for accreditation may be taken more than once.
Students are urged to consult the BSCD senior adviser immediately if they
feel that they can qualify for accreditation.
The Biological Sciences Concentration Program
The goals of the biological sciences concentration are to give students
an understanding of currently accepted concepts in biology and the experimental
support for these concepts, and an appreciation of the gaps in our current
understanding and the opportunities for new research in this field. The
concentration is designed to prepare students for graduate or professional
study in the biological sciences and for careers in biology. As in the Common
Core, emphasis is placed on introducing students to the diversity of subject
matter and methods of investigation in the biological sciences.
The requirements for a B.A. in the biological sciences include the following:
1. The Common Core. To prepare themselves for more advanced work
in biology, prospective biological sciences concentrators should take Chemistry
111-112-113 or higher to satisfy the Common Core requirement in the physical
sciences and Mathematics 131-132 or higher to fulfill the mathematics requirement.
Students who concentrate in the biological sciences may satisfy their Common
Core requirement in the biological sciences with one of the Biological Sciences
170s, 180s, or 190s sequences or with any other Common Core biological sciences
sequence. The five courses from one of the 170s, 180s, or 190s sequences,
as well as a course in biochemistry, constitute a six-course requirement
designed to prepare students for advanced study in the concentration. Students
who complete a Common Core sequence other than one of the 170s, 180s, or
190s sequences should consult with the BSCD master and senior adviser about
the courses to take to meet the concentration requirements.
2. Other Science Courses. Biological sciences concentrators must
complete two quarters of organic chemistry (Chemistry 217-218 or 220-221),
two quarters of physics (Physics 121-122 or higher), one additional quarter
of mathematics (Mathematics 133 or higher) or statistics (Statistics 220),
and one additional course in mathematics or physical sciences.
3. Advanced-Level Biology Courses.
a. Biological Sciences 170s, 180s, or 190s sequences. Students who take
three of these courses to fulfill the Common Core biological sciences requirement
will take the remaining two courses as part of their concentration program.
b. Biological Sciences 200 (Introduction to Biochemistry).
c. Students may fulfill the concentration requirement in the biological
sciences with a general program in the biological sciences or with a specialization
program. In either case, five additional courses in the biological sciences
or related disciplines at the 200-level or above are required. Students
who choose the general program in biological sciences will take one course
in either cell, molecular, genetics, or developmental biology (one of Biological
Sciences 207-229), one in organismal biology (one of Biological Sciences
232-243 or 260), and one in ecology, evolutionary biology, population genetics,
or biological diversity (one of Biological Sciences 248-256). Students who
choose to specialize will take three courses designated by their specialization
program. All students will have two electives within the concentration.
Biological Sciences 199, 297, 298, and 299 may not be used to satisfy this
requirement.
4. Laboratories. In addition to the laboratory required for Biological
Sciences 200, two other 200-level biological science courses must have a
laboratory. Courses used to satisfy the laboratory requirement need not
be the same courses used to satisfy other concentration requirements, but
they can be. The two laboratory courses must be in different areas of
the biological sciences.

*Students who choose option (b) in the summary above should consult with
the BSCD master and senior adviser about the courses to take to meet the
concentration requirements. Generally they should expect to complete all
or part of one of the five-course 170s, 180s, or 190s sequences as part
of their concentration courses.
Specialization Programs in the Biological Sciences
Specialization in Cellular and Molecular Biology. Students who complete
the following specific courses and fulfill the following lab requirements
en route to completing the biological sciences concentration requirements
will be recognized as having completed a specialization in the area of cellular
and molecular biology.
The following requirements must be met:
Courses 1. organic chemistry (Chem 219 or 222). (Fulfills the concentration
requirement for one additional course in mathematics or physical sciences.)
2. The following upper level courses in biological sciences:
a. one course in the area of cell biology (BioSci 207 or 209)
b. one course in the area of genetics (BioSci 217 or 239)
c. one course in the area of developmental biology (BioSci 226/7 or 229)
Laboratory Two of these courses must be laboratory courses unless
either BioSci 215 or 216 is taken as an elective.
The specialization in cellular and molecular biology is administered by
the Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology.
Specialization in Ecology and Evolution. Students who complete the following
course work and fulfill the requirements of the senior honors paper en route
to completing the biological sciences concentration requirement will be
recognized as having completed a specialization in ecology and evolution.
Each student will be assigned a faculty adviser based upon the student's
particular topic of interest. The faculty adviser will recommend specific
courses necessary to meet the requirements (see following section) and facilitate
placing the student in a research laboratory to design and complete the
original research necessary for the senior honors project. The specialization
is recommended for those students interested in pursuing graduate work in
the field or laboratory sciences of ecology, evolution, population genetics,
and behavior.
The following requirements must be met:
Courses 1. three quarters of calculus and two quarters of statistics
(in lieu of physics requirement),
2. three upper level courses in the biological sciences as recommended by
the faculty adviser and departmental chair from a menu of courses in ecology,
evolution, genetics, and behavior
Laboratory Completion of original research in the lab and under
the guidance of a member of the ecology and evolution faculty, qualifying
the student for a senior honors paper.
The specialization in ecology and evolution is administered by the Department
of Ecology and Evolution. Please contact Dr. Michael J. Wade (chairman)
at 702-9638 or mwade@pondside.uchicago.edu.
Specialization in Neuroscience. Students who complete the following
requirements en route to completing the biological sciences concentration
requirements will be recognized as having completed a specialization in
neuroscience. Students who elect to specialize will be assigned to a faculty
adviser (Dorothy Hanck, Daniel Margoliash, or Martha McClintock), who will
be available to advise them on classes that would best accomplish successful
completion of the specialization and help them identify laboratories in
which they can carry out their individual research projects.
Required courses include
BioSci 210 (Developmental Biopsychology)
BioSci 211 (Systems and Behavioral Neurobiology)
BioSci 212 (Cellular Neurobiology)
In addition, in consultation with their faculty adviser, each student will
choose two electives from the following list:
BioSci 214 (Developmental Neurobiology)
BioSci 230 (Ion Channels)
BioSci 231 (Nonlinear Dynamics for Neuroscience and Biopsychology)
BioSci 258 (Neuropharmacology)
BioSci 268 (Neuropsychopharmacology)
BioSci 270 (Conquest of Pain)
Biopsy 215 (Brain Asymmetry)
Biopsy 231 (Developmental Neuropsychology)
Biopsy 280 (Sensation and Perception)
Biopsy 287 (Connectionist Modeling I)
Biopsy 291 (Connectionist Modeling II)
Students are strongly encouraged to carry out individual guided research,
to participate in the honors research program, and to attend neurobiology/biopsychology
related research seminars. The specialization in neuroscience is administered
by the Committee on Neurobiology.
Research Courses and Departmental Honors. Students are strongly encouraged
to carry out individual guided research in an area of their interest. Students
who choose to carry out research can receive academic credit for their work
and have the opportunity to graduate with special honors. A student may
propose an arrangement with any faculty member in the Biological Sciences
Collegiate Division to sponsor and supervise his or her research on an individual
tutorial basis; the student's activities are arranged by mutual agreement
between the student and the sponsor. Students can learn about research opportunities
and potential faculty sponsors from the College Research Opportunities
Program (CROP) Directory, which is available on the World Wide Web (http://www-college.uchicago.edu/crop/crop.html).
Students can receive academic credit for their research by enrolling in
research courses. Two such courses are available: Biological Sciences 199
(Introduction to Research) and Biological Sciences 299 (Advanced Research
in the Biological Sciences). Biological Sciences 199 is intended for students
who wish to have a research experience but are not conducting an approved
honors research project; it may be elected for up to three quarters. Biological
Sciences 299 is for advanced students, including but not limited to those
who wish to be candidates for special honors. Registration for either Biological
Sciences 199 or Biological Sciences 299 requires permission of the student's
research sponsor and the chairman of the Undergraduate Research and Honors
Committee. To register for Biological Sciences 299, students must submit
a written research proposal to the chairman of the Undergraduate Research
and Honors Committee. A registration form for these courses may be obtained
from your adviser. Students must complete this form before registering
for research courses. Both Biological Sciences 199 and Biological Sciences
299 are graded P/F; neither course can be used to fulfill concentration
requirements in the biological sciences.
Students who take Biological Sciences 299 are required to participate in
a biweekly senior honors forum beginning in autumn quarter. In addition,
students who wish to receive special honors must participate in Biological
Sciences 298 (Undergraduate Research Seminar) in their senior year. Students
who are unable to take Biological Sciences 298 for credit may audit this
course with the approval of the chairman of the Undergraduate Research and
Honors Committee. In the honors forum and seminar, students report on and
discuss their research. Students who take Biological Sciences 199 are encouraged
to attend the forum and seminar but will normally not present their work.
Biological Sciences 298 is offered in the spring quarter; students who cannot
take this course because they plan to graduate in a different quarter should
contact the chairman of the Undergraduate Research and Honors Committee
at least three months before their expected graduation to arrange for an
equivalent experience. Biological Sciences 298 is also graded P/F
and may not be used to fulfill concentration requirements in the biological
sciences.
Grading. Students must receive quality (letter) grades in all fourteen
courses in the concentration.
Combined Bachelor of Arts/Master of Science Degree Program in Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology
This program is designed for those students who, early in their academic
careers, decide to pursue graduate study in biology at the molecular level.
It differs from the usual concentration in the biological sciences in that
it requires a central core of graduate courses in biochemistry and molecular
biology. These in turn require a background in physical chemistry.
This program requires the completion of forty-eight credits of course work
rather than the forty-two required for the B.A. (NOTE: Fifty-one credits--forty-two
for the B.A. and nine for the M.S.--are required; however, up to three upper-level
course credits can be double-counted for both degrees.) Thus, the program
is difficult in terms of the course load and also requires payment of graduate-level
tuition during the senior year. In general, the program is suitable only
for students who enter with placement or advanced placement credit or who
complete some of their work during the summer.
A departmental oral examination on a thesis describing the candidate's original
research contribution is required for the degree. Students are expected
to (1) spend elective time and/or a summer residency in a laboratory working
on a research problem in biochemistry or molecular biology, and (2) write
a formal thesis describing their research and reviewing the field. The oral
examination based on that thesis must be taken during the last quarter of
their registration.
Students will not be admitted formally to the program until their third
year. Applications are made through the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology. Normally only students with grade point averages above 3.0 qualify,
although exceptions may be made under special circumstances.
Questions about the program may be addressed to the adviser in the Department
of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (Marvin Makinen, CLSC 359, 702-1080).
