Area of Concentration I: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Core Requirements and Electives

Core Courses
	E&EB 160b (Diversity of Life)
	MCDB 200a (Genetics)
	E&EB 210a/STAT 101a or the equivalent (Statistics)
Electives
	Four credits, distributed as described here
Laboratories
	Two biology laboratories above the introductory level

E&EB elective courses are grouped in three major subject areas:

A-Ecology: E&EB 220a, [230a], [340b], 360b, 365b, [370a], F&ES 275a
B-Evolution: E&EB 225b, 310b, G&G 250a, 315b
C-Organisms: E&EB 240b, 250a, [255b], [260b], [265a], 270b, 328a, MCDB 250a, 290b

Students must take at least one course from each group. In groups A and B, the course listed first is the recommended first course in that subject. One additional E&EB or MCDB courses numbered 150 or higher is also required. Students who wish to shape the major by drawing on electives in other departments should consult with and obtain the approval of the director of undergraduate studies.

Two laboratories are also required for the major. In addition to laboratories associated with the three groups of electives, E&EB 315La and MCDB 201La can also be used to fulfill this requirement. E&EB 315La carries one full course credit but counts as only one laboratory for the major. E&EB 230a may count as either an elective course or a laboratory, but not as both.
