*The 12-hour combination of biology, chemistry, and physics courses (in addition to the required additional 12 hours of physics credits) for Option II must be distributed as follows: biology and chemistry courses must be chosen from those specifically named and numbered courses that satisfy the minors in those disciplines or 200 level electives. The physics courses, if used, must be from the 200-400 level. The 12-hour science course combination can consist of courses entirely from biology, chemistry, or physics.
