The following courses may be considered diversification electives only for students in the Class of 2019 through 2022 who are completing the previous major requirements: BIO 208 (Intro to Programming for Biology), BIO 250 or 252 (Biochemistry, only if not used as a core course), and BIO 265 (Molecular Evolution, not offered after spring 2018). These students may use one but not both of BIO 261W and BIO 262W.
