No more than one upper division course may be used to simultaneously fulfill requirements for a student's major and minor programs.
Standardized test credit (e.g., Advanced Placement) cannot be used to satisfy any major requirements. All major requirements must be taken for a letter grade. In addition to the university, campus, and college requirements, listed on the College Requirements tab, students must fulfill the below requirements specific to their major program. There is no minor program in Integrative Biology. In order to graduate with honors, students must maintain the minimum required GPAs. Honors students must present the results of their work in the form of a written honors thesis and a poster presentation. Interested students must identify an appropriate faculty sponsor who agrees to advise them on an original research project and enroll in two consecutive semesters of the honors thesis course ( INTEGBI H196A and INTEGBI H196B). Students with a minimum 3.3 overall GPA, a minimum 3.3 major GPA, and who are conducting biological research are encouraged to participate in the honors program. Please see the department's website for detailed instructions to declare the IB major. All declaring students must be able to complete the major requirements in a timely manner. Either CHEM 3B or the second biology course (see above) and receive an average grade or better on the midterm examįor transfer students, it is recommended that lower division courses be completed before arriving at Berkeley. Either BIOLOGY 1A and BIOLOGY 1AL or BIOLOGY 1B. Students meet with a staff adviser and a faculty adviser as part of the declaration process.Īt the time of declaration, students must have completed: Students must have the following grade point averages (GPA) of at least 2.0 to declare: overall average of 2.0, all major requirements (lower and upper division combined) average of 2.0, all upper division major requirements average of 2.0. For information regarding these courses, please see the Major Requirements tab. In order to declare Integrative Biology as a major, students must have completed certain prerequisites. For detailed information, please see the Major Requirements tab. The upper division requirements differ slightly for the two emphases, but all students take lecture and lab or field lab classes from IB's three groups: Evolution and Genetics Ecology, Behavior, and Biodiversity Structure, Function, and Human Health. The lower division requirements are the same for all IB students, regardless of the emphasis. Students majoring in Integrative Biology choose one of two emphases: Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology (Emphasis 1) or Integrative Human Biology (Emphasis 2). The department's broad range of experts includes behaviorists, ecologists, evolutionary biologists, geneticists, morphologists, paleontologists, physiologists, and systematists. It also provides superb training for students interested in health-related professions (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, nursing, pharmacy, optometry, etc.) or careers incorporating biology (psychology, sociobiology, forestry, wildlife conservation, environmental and resource management, law, etc.). This program may be of particular interest to students who wish to pursue graduate studies in any of these research areas. 
Students who major in Integrative Biology (IB) will gain a broad and deep knowledge in the biological sciences as well as an excellent foundation in the biology of organisms, populations, and communities.
