Upper Level (Advanced) Biology Courses

The following courses, in the departments listed below, count toward the “Upper Level (Advanced) Biology coursework” requirement (for students who have taken Bio 151/152). Please note that some courses may be cross-listed between departments and may only be listed once on this page (e.g. Environmental Studies 471 is also Population Health 471; either one will count for this requirement).

Students should be aware that some biochemistry courses are not offered every semester or year. Consult the university’s Guide to see when courses are typically offered and enroll.wisc.edu to see which courses are being offered in a specific upcoming term.
