In addition to this list of electives, it may be possible to substitute other courses, provided that they are officially approved by the Department of Biology. Students seeking such approval should submit a request by email to Ms. Ficke (ficke@cua.edu), providing the name and number of the course, the school at which it is to be taken, a catalog description of the course, and a copy of the syllabus. The student should also stipulate the reason for wishing to substitute this course for one of the standard electives.
