Degree Requirements
The most helpful tool to understand the requirements for the Biobehavioral Health major is “My Academic Requirements” in LionPath. Students are also encouraged to review the Biobehavioral Health major on the University Bulletin. Here you will find a suggested academic plan that lists options for degree completion and will help you track your progress through the major. We strongly encourage all Biobehavioral Health majors to meet with their academic adviser once a semester to discuss course planning and other relevant topics.
Several sections of the curriculum offer flexibility for students to choose courses in line with their career, graduate school, minor, and/or study abroad goals. Approved course selections are listed on the suggested academic plan within the footnotes. Possible exceptions to the approved course selections should be discussed with your BBH academic adviser prior to completing the course in question.
Please review this statement from the Head of Department of Biobehavioral Health regarding coursework that requires grades of C or higher.
