Major error in the 2009-2010 academic calendar in relation to the degree requirements for a major in Biology: 

On page 101, the last clause in the left column currently reads “27 credit hours of Biology electives with at least 9 credit hours at the 3000-level and 18 credit hours at the 4000-level and no more than 2 credit hours at the 2000-level.” This is an error.  The correct wording of that clause should be “27 credit hours of Biology electives with at least 9 credit hours at each of the 3000- and 4000-level and no more than 6 credit hours at the 2000-level”.
