BI 403 Thesis, BI 405
Reading, BI 406 Field Studies, BI 407 Seminar, BI 408 Laboratory
Projects, BI 409 Practicum, and BI 410 Senior Research qualify
for general University of Oregon upper division credit, but can
not be applied to the 44 credit upper division requirement for
the Marine Biology Major.
BI 401 Research or
BI 402 Supervised College Teaching: A maximum of 4 credits of
BI 401 Research and/or BI 402 Supervised College Teaching may
be applied to the 44 credit upper division Biology requirement
provided that:

sponsor and
b. after the work
is completed, an approved written journal or report is submitted
to the faculty sponsor.
