Follow these guidelines for declaring the General Biology BA & BS, Health Sciences, Molecular Cell & Developmental Biology and/or Neuroscience & Behavior BA & BS:

At that time, we will provide feedback on your academic plan and complete your declaration form. The BioAdvising Office is open for drop in advising Monday - Friday, 1-3pm in 387 Thimann Labs. |

NOTE: Majors sponsored by the MCD Department are NOT REQUIRED to meet with a faculty advisor during the declaration process. Although it is not required to meet with a faculty advisor to declare your major, it is extremely important to meet with at least one faculty member during your time here. Choose a faculty advisor: they can provide helpful advice on your future career goals and research interests, as well as write letters of recommendation for graduate and other professional fields.
