Fulfilling the biology / life science requirement at another school:

To check whether a course at another school has already been approved as a transfer equivalent to Biology 172 or Biol 174, check the college’s transfer database.

If you do not find an equivalent, please refer to the Guidelines for Transfer Credit Approval webpage. As described under ****For evaluation requests within BIOLOGY, EEB, OR MCDB”, students will need to work directly with the Biology Department to have a course evaluated and approved as a match for Biology 172 or Biol 174.

Check web for updates at che.engin.umich.edu/undergraduate/requirements.
